anonymous · Answer

first add (3x-2) to both sides. it cancels out on the left and you now have $$5x=28+3x+2$$ Now combine like terms. Tell me what you have after you combine like terms.

Hint: add the 28 and the 2 together.

5x−(3x−2)=28
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x+2=28
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.
2x+2−2=28−2
2x=26
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x
2
=
26
2
x=13

He's wrong.

anonymous · Answer

$$5x=30+3x$$ Subtract 3x from both sides.  $$2x=30$$ divide both sides by 2 $$x=15$$
