Zaid Meyers · Answer 1

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

50 - 3x = 15 + 2x

Subtract 15 to both sides ...

50 - 15 - 3x = 2x

Add 3x to both sides ...

50 - 15 = 2x + 3x

35 = 5x

5x = 35

x = 9

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

50 - 3x = 15 + 2x (Given)

50 = 5x + 15 (Add 3x to both sides and add like terms.)

35 = 5x (Subtract 15 on both sides and add like terms.)

7 = x (Divide 5 on both sides and solve.)
