Solution for 2x + x + 5 = 4x + 3

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+x+5 = 4x+3

first combine like terms, so add 2x and x which is 3x

3x+5 = 4x+3

Then subtract 3x from both sides 3x-3x+5 = 4x-3x+3

5 = x+3

subtract 3 on both sides 5-3 = x+3-3

2=x

Answer Check:

substitute x for 2

2 (2) + 2+5=4 (2) + 3

multiply 2 times 2 and add 2 which is 6 and 4 times 2 which is 8

4+5 = 8+3

add the number to together to see if the two equations are equal

11 = 11

the answer is right

X = 2

explanation:

you combine like terms
