Question

Which equation shows the variable terms isolated on one side and the constant terms isolated on the other side for the equation 3X -5 equals negative 2X +10

Answer 1

I think it is -5=x

Explanation:

Answer 2

`5x= 15`

Explanation:

Given

`3x - 5 = -2x +10`

Required

Write the variables and constants on different sides

`3x - 5 = -2x +10`

Add 2x to both sides

`2x + 3x - 5 =2x -2x +10`

`5x - 5 =10`

Add 5 to both sides

`5x - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5`

`5x= 10 + 5`

`5x= 15`

Hence, the equation is

`5x= 15`

Solving further [divide both sides by 5]

`x = 3`
