You can put this solution on YOUR website! The idea here is to get the variable, x in this case, to one side of the = and the numbers on the other side using the rules of algebra.
Subtract x from both sides.
Now add 2 to both sides.
Finally, divide both sides by 2 because you want x = ??? not 2x = ???
To check the solution, you substitute 5 in place of x (all of them) in the original equation and, if the rwo sides are equal, then the solutionis correct. If not, then it's back to the drawing board.
Check:
The solution is correct!
