In algebra what is the answer to 3-2x=5. Please explain how you got the answer.?

3 - 2x = 5\n--> -2x = 5 - 3\n--> -2x = 2\n--> x = 2/(-2)\n--> x = -1 the answer!\n\nYou can check the answer by substituting the vale in the original eqn"\n3 - 2x\n= 3 - 2 (-1)\n= 3 + 2\n= 5

Factor out 2 in the numerator.\n\n2(3x - 5)/5 - 3x\n\nMultiply the denominator by -1 and then rearrange the denominator.\n\nWe have:\n\n-1 TIMES each term inside the parentheses (5-3x).\n\nDoing this we get:\n\n-5 + 3x\n\nNOTICE: +3x = 3x.\n\nWe rerrange the denominator.\n\nWe NOW have this in the denominator: 3x - 5.\n\nLet's go back to the top.\n\n2(3x-5)/3x-5\n\nWe can CANCEL 3x-5 in the numerator and denominator.\n\nDoing that we get 2 as the answer.\n\nGuido

3|(2x-1)/5| + 3 = 1?\nThats impossible. |anything| >= 0, so the LHS is >= 3. Did you mean something else?

where is the rest of the equation?\n\n2x+5-x+3x+2-2x+5x-3x+8-4x+2+1x\n\nCollect like terms:\n\n2x-x+3x-2x+5x-3x-4x+1x+5+2+8+2\n\nRelocate the terms:\n\n1x+2x+3x+5x-x-2x-3x-4x+5+2+8+2 = 37\n\nAdd like terms:\n\n11x - 10x + 17 = 37\n\nNow, subtract all terms and solve from there.\n\nx + 17 = 37\nx = 20

(5) x (2x^2-3x+5) I think

3x/5-5=13-3x\n3x/5+3x=13+5\n18/5x=18\n18 divided by 18/5x=5x\nx=5

(3x+5)(2x-3) = 6x^2 +x -15\n\n(x-1)(6x+5) = 6x^2-x-5\n\ntherefore you have \n\n6x^2+x-15 = 6x^2 -x -5\n\nsubtract 6x^2-x from both sides and you get\n\n2x-15 = -5\n\nadd 15 to both sides and you get\n\n2x = 10\ndivide both sides by 2\n\nx = 5

Plug in 2 for x to determine this:\n\n3(2) + 5 = 6+5 = 11 ≠ 17\n\nTherefore 2 is not a solution.\n\n~ ♥ ~

you subtract like terms.  \n5x^2 - 9x^2 = -4x^2\n-3x - (-5x) = -3x+5x = 2x\n6 - (-3) = 6+3 = 9\n\nTherefore, the final answer is -4x^2 +2x +9

Solve,\n\n3x = 2y - 5 ... (1)\n\ny - 5x = -1 ... (2)\n\nRearrange (2), we get,\n\ny = 5x - 1 ... (3)\n\nSubstitute (3) into (1)\n\n3x = 2(5x - 1) - 5\n\n3x = 10x - 2 - 5\n\n3x = 10x - 7\n\n10x - 3x = 7\n\n7x = 7\n\nx = 1 ... (4)\n\nSubstitute (4) into (3)\n\ny = 5(1) - 1\n\ny = 4 \n\nTherefore x = 1 and y = 4.

(x+2)(x-5)=(x-1)(x-3)\nx^2-3x-10=x^2-4x+3\n-3x-10=-4x+3 [x^2's cancel]\n+3x       +3x\n-10=-x+3\n-3        -3\n-13=-x\nx=13

5x-3 = 3x +37\n2x=40\nx=20\n\nmuch better this time.  still kinda a dumb question.

Algebra is basically adding subtracting or dividing deppending on what is being asked such as simple algebra: x= -3x+12. The way you would do this is:  subract the 3x and bring it over to the x. ( 4x=12) then divide (x=3). Than that means obviously x equals 3. you just need to solve by adding like terms such as x's and integers. The concept is getting something to eual a letter. Then if it asks "Solve for X" go 1 more step add x=3 back into the equation so it would be; 3x(3)+12> 3x3+12= 21

algebraic simplification\n\nx over 4+3 = 2x+3 over 5\nx / (4+3) = (2x+3) / 5\nx/7 = (2x+3)/5\n5x/7 = 2x+3\n9x/7 = -3\n\nx = -7/3

2(x-5)^2 = 3\ndivide by 2:  (x - 5)^2 = 3/2\nsquare root: (x - 5) = +/- root(6)/2\nadd 5: x = 5 +/- root(6)/2
