@ivettef365

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

I set the equations equal to one another and got a decimal

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok you have 2x + 5 = 3x +2

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

how did you solved it ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

i set the equations equal to one another

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, first step you can do the following: 2x + 5 = 3x + 2 -2x -2x -----------------------

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what do you have?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

im doing it now

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

i got 1x+2=5

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

the answer is 3?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

i added instead of subtracted

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now you can check if you substitute the 3 for the x

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

2(3) + 5 = 11 3(3) + 2 = 11

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay i get it now

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

:)

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

you have to add them together . but do you have to put 180?
