Question

solve the following equations:3x+5=5(x-2)​

Answer 1

3x+5=5(x-2)

3x+5=5x-10

5+10=5x-3x                      (transposing -10&3x on opp. sides)

15=2x

15/2=x                                    (transposing 2 on opp. side)

therefore x=15/2 or 7.5

Answer 2

Answer:

3x+ 5=5(x–2)

3x+5=5x–10. [multiplying 5 with (x–5)]

now,5+10=5x–3x [putting constant term one side and variable term one side]

now,15=2x

and,x=15/2

and x=15/2 or 7.5
