Question

5x -2+3x= 14

What's the answer

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

5x+3x=8x

you add 5 and 3

8x-2=14

Then you add 2 to both sides of the equation

8x-2=14

+2 +2 = 8x= 16

then you divide 16 by 8

16/8= 2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

5x-2+3x=14 simplify by combining 5x and 3x

8x-2=14 now add 2 to each side

8x=16 now divide 8 to both sides

x=2
