Question

Solve 2x - 3 = x + 2

Give the Explanation...also!!​

Answer 1

$\huge \mathscr{\orange {\underline {\pink{\underline{Answer :-}}}}}$

Given Equation:

2x - 3 = x + 2

⠀

Solution:

We have,

$\tt\longmapsto{}$ $\sf{2x = x + 2 + 3}$

or

$\tt\longmapsto{}$ $\sf{2x = x + 5}$

or

$\tt\longmapsto{}$ $\boxed{\sf{\purple{(Subtracting\: x\: from\: both\: sides↓)}}}$

$\tt\longmapsto{}$ $\sf{2x - x = x + 5 - x}$

or

$\tt\longmapsto{}$ $\sf{x = 5}$

❤️Explanation:

★ Here we subtracted from both sides of the equation, not a number (constant), but a term involving the variable. We can do this as variables are also numbers. Also, note that subtracting x from both sides amounts to transposing x to L.H.S.
