Question

Solve for x. 2x = 15 + x x = -15 x = 15 x = -15/2 x = 15/2

Answer 1

`x = 15`

Explanation:

The given equation is

`2x = 15 + x`

This is a linear equation in x.

We solve for x by grouping similar terms.

Let us subtract x from both sides of the equation to get:

`2x - x = 15 + x - x`

We simplify to get:

`x= 15 + 0`

This implies that:

`x = 15`

Therefore the correct solution is x=15.
