Solve the equation:%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A 3x+5=−2x+15

1 answer

To solve the equation 3x + 5 = -2x + 15, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.

First, let's add 2x to both sides to eliminate the -2x term on the right side:

3x + 5 + 2x = -2x + 15 + 2x

This simplifies to:

5x + 5 = 15

Next, let's subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the variable term:

5x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5

This simplifies to:

5x = 10

Finally, let's divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:

(5x)/5 = 10/5

This simplifies to:

x = 2

So the solution to the equation 3x + 5 = -2x + 15 is x = 2.
