Question 64253
QUESTION:
 

solve [x-5] = 2....



ANSWER:
  

solve [x-5] = 2....


that means you have to find out the value of the variable 'x' in the given  equation.


x-5 = 2

For that retain the  x term in one side and shift all the other terms( here we  have only  constat terms) to the other side.


For that add  5 to  both sides of the equation, because here  in the equation  we have -5.  ( if it is +5, we have to subtract 5 from both sides.)


==> x - 5 + 5 = 2 + 5 


==> x = 7


Thus we got the value of x as 7.


To check your answer, put the value x = 7 in the given equation and see whether  it satisfies the equation or not.


Hope you understood.
