Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Given :

  • 3x = 5x - 4

Add 4 on each side

  • 3x + 4 = 5x - 4 + 4
  • 3x + 4 = 5x

Subtract 3x from each side

  • 3x - 3x + 4 = 5x - 3x
  • 4 = 2x

Divide 2 from each side

  • 4/2 = 2x/2
  • x = 2

x=2

subtract 5x on both sides
-2x=-4
divide by -1 on both sides
2x=4
divide by 2 on both sides
x= 2
