Question

2-3x=x+2

Answer 1

To solve for the value of x
2 + -3x = x + 2
Reorder the terms:
2 + -3x = 2 + x
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -3x = 2 + -2 + x
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -3x = 2 + -2 + x
-3x = 2 + -2 + x
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-3x = 0 + x
-3x = x
Solving
-3x = x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
-3x + -1x = x + -1x
Combine like terms: -3x + -1x = -4x
-4x = x + -1x
Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-4x = 0
Divide each side by '-4'.
x = 0
