Question

Solve for x
15x -20=10x-5
​

Answer 1

`15x -20=10x-5`

`15x-20+20=10x-5+20`

`15x=10x+15`

`15x-10x=10x+15-10x`

`5x=15`

`(5x)/(5)=(15)/(5)`

`x=3`

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

`15x -20=10x-5`

Subtract 10x from both sides of the equation

That's

`15x - 10x - 20 = 10x - 10x - 5 \\ 5x - 20 = - 5`

Move - 20 to the other side of the equation

`5x = 20 - 5 \\ 5 x = 15`

Divide both sides by 5

`(5x)/(5) = (15)/(5) \\`

We have the final answer as

x = 3
