Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+x+5= 4x+3

first combine like terms, so add 2x and x which is 3x

3x+5= 4x+3

Then subtract 3x from both sides 3x-3x+5= 4x-3x+3

5= x+3

subtract 3 on both sides 5-3= x+3-3

2=x

Answer Check:

substitute x for 2

2(2)+2+5=4(2)+3

multiply 2 times 2 and add 2 which is 6 and 4 times 2 which is 8

4+5= 8+3

add the number to together to see if the two equations are equal

11 = 11

the answer is right
