Math Problem Statement

x+2+3=6+2x

Solution

Let's solve the equation:

x+2+3=6+2xx + 2 + 3 = 6 + 2x

Step 1: Simplify both sides

x+5=6+2xx + 5 = 6 + 2x

Step 2: Move the xx terms to one side

Subtract xx from both sides: 5=6+x5 = 6 + x

Step 3: Isolate xx

Subtract 6 from both sides: 56=x5 - 6 = x x=1x = -1

Thus, the solution is: x=1x = -1
