Solve the equation
5x – (3x – 2) = 28

Solve the equation 5x – (3x – 2) = 28 x = 13

x = 14

x = 15

x = 16

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Hint: add the 28 and the 2 together.

Answer 3

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

x=13

Thank you @KendrickLamar2014

Answer 7

He's wrong.

Answer 8

\[5x=30+3x\] Subtract 3x from both sides. \[2x=30\] divide both sides by 2 \[x=15\]
