X+2=2x-3

What is the value of x?

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

X+2=2x-3

Subtract 2 from both sides

x+2-2=2x-3-2

Simplify.

x=2x-5

Subtract 2x from both sides

x-2x=2x-5-2x

Simplify

-x=-5

Divide both sides by - 1

-x:1 = - 5:1

Simplify

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2=2x-3

x - 2x = - 3 - 2

-x = - 5

Multiply the equation by (-1)

x = 5

{ If two numbers have same sign, then add and put the same for the result.

If two numbers have different sign, then subtract and the result will have the sign of the bigger number}
