5x - (x+3) = (3x+6) - 5 How do I solve this?

53x452? do that

5x - (x+3) = (3x+6) - 5

We move all terms to the left:

5x - (x+3) - ((3x+6) - 5) = 0

We get rid of parentheses

5x-x - ((3x+6) - 5) - 3=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: - ((3x+6) - 5), so:

(3x+6) - 5

We get rid of parentheses

3x+6-5

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x+1

Back to the equation:

- (3x+1)

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4x - (3x+1) - 3=0

get rid of parentheses

4x-3x-1-3=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-4=0

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=4
