side 3 - x+3

6 answers

x + x + 2 + x + 3 = 35

3x + 5 = 35

3x = 30

x = 10
how did you get from 35 to 30? Did you subtract? If so why?
Yes. The way to solve this equation is to subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
oh thank you!
You're welcome.
why do i have the same question but instead the answer for this is 10m, 12m, and 13m?
