Math Problem Statement

2x - 3 = 5x + 6

Solution

To solve the equation 2x3=5x+62x - 3 = 5x + 6, we will go through the following steps:

  1. Move all terms involving xx to one side of the equation.
    Subtract 5x5x from both sides: 2x5x3=62x - 5x - 3 = 6 This simplifies to: 3x3=6-3x - 3 = 6

  2. Move the constant terms to the other side.
    Add 3 to both sides: 3x=6+3-3x = 6 + 3 Simplifying: 3x=9-3x = 9

  3. Solve for xx.
    Divide both sides by 3-3: x=93=3x = \frac{9}{-3} = -3

Thus, the solution is: x=3x = -3
