Question 147930


{{{2x+3-4x+5=2x+2-5-x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2x+8=2x+2-5-x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2x+8=x-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-2x=x-3-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x-x=-3-8}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{-3x=-3-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3x=-11}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-11)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=11/3}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=11/3}}} 



Which approximates to {{{x=3.667}}}
