2(x-1)-5=3x+2 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*(x-1)-5 = 3*x+2
Expand brackets in the left part
2*x-2*1-5 = 3*x+2
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7 + 2*x = 3*x+2
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 3 x + 9$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 9$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 9 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -9
