2x%2B3=-2x%2B5 Start with the given equation.


2x=-2x%2B5-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


2x%2B2x=5-3 Add 2x to both sides.


4x=5-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=2 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%282%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x=1%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=1%2F2
