Question

2 x + 5 = 10

what is x =?

Answer 1

x=
`(5)/(2)`

Explanation:

First, subtract 5 on both sides since when you subtract 5 from 5, it will give you 0.

Basically we are trying to get rid of the +5.

2x+5-5=10-5

2x=5

Divide by 2 to get rid of the 2 that is combined with the x.

2x/2=5/2

x=
`(5)/(2)`

Answer 2

Answer:x=5/2

Explanation:

2x+5=10

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x+5-5=10-5

2x=5

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=5/2

x=5/2
