Question

Solve equation show all steps what is 2x-3x+5=18

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed{{x=-13}}`

Explanation:

`2x-3x+5=18`

`\sf Combine \ like \ terms.`

`-1x+5=18`

`\sf Subtract \ 5 \ from \ both \ sides.`

`-1x+5-5=18-5`

`-1x=13`

`\sf Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ -1.`

`-1x * (-1)=13 * (-1)`

`x=-13`

Answer 2

x = -13

Explanation:

2x-3x+5=18

Combine like terms

-x +5 = 18

Subtract 5 from each side

-x +5-5 = 18-5

-x = 13

Multiply each side by -1

x = -13
