Question

Solve for ‘x’ 5x + 20 = 2x + 29.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying 5x + 20 = 2x + 29

Reorder the terms: 20 + 5x = 2x + 29

Reorder the terms: 20 + 5x = 29 + 2x

Solving 20 + 5x = 29 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. 20 + 5x + -2x = 29 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x 20 + 3x = 29 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 20 + 3x = 29 + 0 20 + 3x = 29 Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + -20 + 3x = 29 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + 3x = 29 + -20 3x = 29 + -20 Combine like terms: 29 + -20 = 9 3x = 9

Divide each side by '3'. x = 3 Simplifying x = 3
