Question

Simplify : 2x-[5y- (3x -y) + x]​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

2x + 5y = -3x + 15

Reorder the terms:

2x + 5y = 15 + -3x

Solving

2x + 5y = 15 + -3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3x' to each side of the equation.

2x + 3x + 5y = 15 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x

5x + 5y = 15 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0

5x + 5y = 15 + 0

5x + 5y = 15

Add '-5y' to each side of the equation.

5x + 5y + -5y = 15 + -5y

Combine like terms: 5y + -5y = 0

5x + 0 = 15 + -5y

5x = 15 + -5y

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 3 + -1y

Simplifying

x = 3 + -1y
