Question 104492


{{{x=3x-5}}} Start with the given equation




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



{{{-2x=-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{x=(-5)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x




{{{x=5/2}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=5/2}}}  (which is {{{x=2.5}}} in decimal form)
