Math Problem Statement

-(+3x)-(-5)=(-5x)-(-2)+3

Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step.

Given equation: (+3x)(5)=(5x)(2)+3-(+3x) - (-5) = (-5x) - (-2) + 3

Step 1: Simplify the signs

  • The expression (+3x)-(+3x) simplifies to 3x-3x.
  • The expression (5)-(-5) simplifies to +5+5.
  • The expression (2)-(-2) simplifies to +2+2.

So the equation becomes: 3x+5=5x+2+3-3x + 5 = -5x + 2 + 3

Step 2: Combine like terms on both sides

On the right side, combine the constants 22 and 33: 3x+5=5x+5-3x + 5 = -5x + 5

Step 3: Move all terms involving xx to one side and constants to the other side

Add 5x5x to both sides: 3x+5x+5=5-3x + 5x + 5 = 5 This simplifies to: 2x+5=52x + 5 = 5

Subtract 55 from both sides: 2x=02x = 0

Step 4: Solve for xx

Divide both sides by 22: x=0x = 0

So the solution is: x=0x = 0
