Question

10 + 3x = 5 - 2x multi-step equation
Solve for x

Answer 1

x=-1

Explanation:

10+3x=5-2x

get all like terms on one side by subtracting the 10 to the right and adding 2x to the left

3x+2x= -5

5x=-5

divide by 5 to get x alone

x=-1

Answer 2

Answer: x=-1 because when using substitution the equation can be converted to (3x=-5-2x)=5x=-5.

Hope this helps.
