Question 911073
{{{5x+2=3x}}} Start with the given equation.



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



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



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



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



{{{x=-1}}} Reduce.
