Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve for x: 5x + 2 = 3x + 10.
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 5x + 2 = 3x + 10.
  • Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation. This gives you 5x - 3x + 2 = 10.
  • Step 3: Simplify the left side. 5x - 3x is 2x, so now you have 2x + 2 = 10.
  • Step 4: Next, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. This gives you 2x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2.
  • Step 5: Simplify again. The left side is 2x and the right side is 8, so now you have 2x = 8.
  • Step 6: Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x. This gives you x = 8 / 2.
  • Step 7: Simplify the right side. 8 divided by 2 is 4, so x = 4.
