Math Problem Statement

4x - 3 = 5x + 2

Solution

To solve the equation 4x3=5x+24x - 3 = 5x + 2, follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 4x4x from both sides to move the terms with xx to one side of the equation: 4x4x3=5x4x+24x - 4x - 3 = 5x - 4x + 2 This simplifies to: 3=x+2-3 = x + 2

  2. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate xx: 32=x+22-3 - 2 = x + 2 - 2 This simplifies to: 5=x-5 = x

So, the solution is x=5x = -5.
