\huge\textbf{Hey there!}


\mathbf{3x - 2x = 5}\\\mathbf{\rightarrow 1x = 5}\\\textbf{DIVIDE 1 to BOTH SIDES}\\\mathbf{\rightarrow (1x)/(1)=(5)/(1)}\\\textbf{CANCEL out: }\mathbf{(1)/(1)\textbf{ because it gives you 1}}\\\textbf{KEEP: }\mathbf{(5)/(1)}\textbf{ because it helps solve for the x-value.}\\\textbf{NEW EQUATION: }\mathbf{x = (5)/(1)}\\\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\mathbf{x = 5}\\\\\\\\\\\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 5}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\textbf{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy}\\\huge\textbf{your day!}
