2x - 5 = 35

1 answer

To solve the equation 2x - 5 = 35, we can isolate the variable x by adding 5 to both sides:

2x - 5 + 5 = 35 + 5

Simplifying the equation gives:

2x = 40

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 = 40/2
x = 20

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x - 5 = 35 is x = 20.
