Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 2x - 3 = 5, what is the value of x?
Correct Answer: 4
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 2x - 3 = 5.
  • Step 2: To get rid of the -3, add 3 to both sides of the equation.
  • Step 3: This gives you 2x = 5 + 3.
  • Step 4: Simplify the right side: 5 + 3 = 8, so now you have 2x = 8.
  • Step 5: Now, to find x, divide both sides by 2.
  • Step 6: This gives you x = 8 / 2.
  • Step 7: Simplify 8 / 2 to get x = 4.
  • Algebraic Manipulation – The question tests the ability to solve a linear equation by isolating the variable.
