Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 3 + 2x = 5x + 3
subtract 5x from both sides
5x - 5x - 3 + 2x = 5x - 5x + 3
-3 + 2x = 3
add 3 to both sides
-3 + 3 + 2x = 3 + 3
2x = 6
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 6/2
5x - 3 + 2x = 5x + 3. that is
7x - 3 = 5x + 3 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
2x - 3 = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
