Explain how to solve the equation 2x – 3 = x + 2

4 answers

Add 3 to both sides and subtract x from both sides. That will leave you with the answer.
2x-3=x+2

2x-3+3=x+2+3

x=1
If indeed the question is EXPLAIN how to solve the equation then you will need to explain what you are doing as a series of sentences.

As drwis and Hannah have shown the equation is easy to solve, but I suspect the question setter is trying to get you to explain the steps.
Hannah's last step and answer is incorrect.

If more explanation is required, it will be provided if requested.
