Solve the linear equation of 2x-5=3x - (2+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5 = 3x - (2 + x)

2x - 5 = 3x - 2 - x

2x - 5 = 3x - x - 2

2x - 5 = 2x - 2 (-2x and + 5)

2x - 2x - 5 + 5 = 2x - 2x - 2 + 5

0 - 0 = 0 + 3

0 = 3 (This equation is uncorrect)

-x - 2 = - 1• (x + 2)

solve : - x = 2

Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

-x = 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x = - 2
