`\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \tt{G \: I \: V \: E \: N \: \:E \: Q \: U \: A \: T \: I \: O \: N}}}} :`

• 5 = 2x - 3

• Value of x

`\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \tt{S \: O \: L\: U \: T \: I\: O \: N}}}} :`

♨
`\large{ \sf{5 = 2x - 3}}`

~Swap the sides of the equation :

⇾
`\large{ \sf{2x - 3 = 5}}`

~We want to remove the 3 first. Since the original equation is -3 , we are going to use the opposite operation and add 3 to the both sides :

⇾
`\large{ \sf{2x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3}}`

⇾
`\large{ \sf{2x \: \cancel{ - 3} \: \cancel{ + 3}}} = 8`

⇾
`\large{ \sf{2x = 8}}`

~Now , We need to think about how to remove the coefficient 2. Since the opposite of multiplication is division , we are going to divide both sides of the equation by 2 :

⇾
`\large{ \sf{ (2x)/(2) = (8)/(2)}}`

⇾
`\boxed{ \large{ \sf{x = 4}}}`

`\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \tt{C \: H \:E \: C \: K}}}}:`

☪
`\large{ \tt{L \: H \: S : \: 5 }}`

`\large{ \tt{R \: H \: S \ \: : \: 2x - 3 = 2 * 4 - 3 = 8 - 3 = \underline{ \tt{5}}}}` [ Plug the value of x ]

☥ Since this is a true statement , our answer ( x = 4 ) is correct. Yay! We got our answer :)
