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=-2x+ 10?

A. X=5. B.—5=x. C.—15=—5x. D.—5x=15

Answer 1

A; (X=5)

Explanation:

Move the constants and variable terms to one side:

3x-5= -2x+10

-5+10= -2x+ 3x

Combine like terms:

5=x or x=5

Answer 2

The answer is C

Explanation:

If you take the equation and simplify it.

3x-5=-2x+10

You would minus 3x from both sides, leaving the equation like

-5=-5x+10

Then you would minus 10 from both sides, leaving the equation like

-15=-5x

If you wanted to go further you could divide both sides by -1 and get rid of the negatives. Leaving the equation like

15=5x

Then to put it into the simpleist form you would divide both sides by 5, leaving the equation like

3=x
