Question

What is this answer and work shown please 5/2x -3 =2

Answer 1

5/2x - 3 = 2

(subtract the three)

5/2x = 5

(multiply both sides by 2/5 so that the fraction can get cancelled out and the x is by itself)

x = 5 x 2/5 so 2

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

Given

`(5)/(2)` x - 3 = 2 ( add 3 to both sides )

`(5)/(2)` x = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

5x = 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 2
