how do i find the x value if (3x-5)+2x=90

5 answers

(3x-5)+2x=90
7x - 5 = 90
7x = 95
x = 95/7
x = ?
first of you have to solve all the numbers of the x side of the equation.
(3x-5)+2x=90
add 5 both sides of the equation to the 90 side
3x+2x=95
consolidate your Xs
5x=95
divide both sides by 5
x=19
i got x=13.4 i am not sure if this is right
oh thank you both i get it now
after you get an answer plug it where th xs are and see if it works
