Question 843746
{{{2x+5=3x+3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x=3x+3-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{2x-3x=3-5}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=3-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{x=(-2)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
