Question

Find the value of x in each case

4x + 3 = 2x + 5
3x + 1 = x + 5
x + 10 = 5x + 2

Answer 1

4x+3=2x+5
4x-2x = 5-3
2x = 2
x = 2/2
x =1

3x+1=x+5
3x-x = 5-1
2x = 4
x =4/2
x =2

x+10=5x+2
10-2 = 5x-x
8 = 4x
8/4 = x
2 = x

Answer 2

Hi !

1) 4x+3=2x+5
    4x - 2x  =  5-3
   2x = 2
   x =1
======================================

2) 3x+ 1 = x + 5
   3x- x  =  5 -1
  2x = 4
  x = 4/2 = 2
===============================

3) x+10=5x+2
 x - 5x = 2 - 10
-4x = -8
x = -8/-4
x = 2
