Question 455225
First, let's write this as an algebraic equation.
x is five more than two times x minus three
is  =
more  +
times  x
minus  -
x=5+2x-3
Now we can solve this equation for x 
Add like terms,   x=2x+2
Isolate the x by subtracting 2x from both sides    -x=2
Divide both sides by -1,    x=-2
The answer is x=-2!!
