(5-x)-(2x+3)=5 equation

The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉

You have entered [src]

5 - x + -2*x - 3 = 5

$$\left(5 - x\right) + \left(- 2 x - 3\right) = 5$$

Simplify

Detail solution

Given the linear equation:

(5-x)-(2*x+3) = 5

Expand brackets in the left part

5-x-2*x-3 = 5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:

2 - 3*x = 5

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 3 x = 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3

x = 3 / (-3)

We get the answer: x = -1
