Question 644332


{{{2x+3=x-5 }}}...first, add {{{-x}}} to both sides

{{{2x-x+3=x-x-5 }}}...now eliminate {{{x-x}}} on right side

{{{2x-x+3=cross(x)-cross(x)-5 }}}

{{{x+3=-5 }}}.... add {{{-3}}} to both sides

{{{x+3-3=-5-3 }}}.....now eliminate {{{3-3}}} on left side

{{{x+cross(3)-cross(3)=-5-3 }}}

{{{x=-5-3 }}}

{{{highlight(x=-8) }}}...your solution
