Question

2x - 3 = 5don't understand

Answer 1

You have the following equation given in the exercise:

`2x-3=5`

You must solve for the variable "x" in order to find the solution.

You can follow these steps:

1. Apply the Addition property of Equality adding 3 to both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 2x-3+(3)=5+(3) \\ 2x=8 \end{gathered}`

2. Finally, you can apply the Division property of Equalilty dividing both sides of the equation by 2.

Then, you get that the solution is:

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(2)=(8)/(2) \\ x=4 \end{gathered}`
