Question

What would be the steps for to solve 2x + 5 = 31 for x.

Answer 1

2x + 5 − 5 = 31 − 5
2x + 0 = 26
2x = 26
2x ÷ 2 = 26 ÷ 2
x = 13.

Answer 2

First, subtract 5 from both sides so the five becomes 0 and the 31 becomes 26. They you are left with 2x=26. Then divide by 2 on both sides so x is just left on the left and 13 on the other. x=13
