Question

15 - 3x = 2x - 5
what is X

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ 15 - 3x = 2x - 5

Then the value of x will be,

→ 15 - 3x = 2x - 5

→ -3x - 2x = -5 - 15

→ -5x = -20

→ x = (-20)/(-5)

→ x = 20/5

→ [ x = 4 ]

Hence, the value of x is 4.

Answer 2

Answer: x = 4

Explanation:

15 - 3x = 2x -5

Subtract 2x from both sides.

15 - 3x - 2x = -5

Combine -3x and -2x.

15 - 5x= -5

Subtract 15 from both sides.

-5x= -5 - 15

Subtract 15 from -5.

- 5x = -20

Divide both sides by −5.

x = -20/-5

Divide -20 by -5.

x = 4
