Question 753288: I have a problem, 3x+2=2x+5... I have to find out what x is. I don't want you to do the problem for me, well I kinda do, but I want you to like walk me through it. Because I don't understand it at all, and my teacher isn't much help. Answer by Mangcha(2) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x+2=2x+5
=>3x-2x=5-2
=>x=3
checking:
If x=3 Then,
LHS=3x+2
=3*3+2
=9+2
=11
RHS=2x+5
=2*3+5
=6+5
=11
Thus, LHS=RHS which is true.
