Question 19330
Hello There:

You didn't ask any questions, so I'm going to guess that you want the steps to solve this equation for x.

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the x-term.

6 = 2*x + 5

(The asterisk means multiplication.)

6 - 5 = 2*x + 5 - 5

1 = 2*x

Now, solve for x by dividing both sides by 2.

1/2 = (2/2)*x

x = 1/2
