Solve x-3=5-2x50

$$x - 3 = 5 - 2 x 50$$

Solve for x

$$x=8-2x_{50}$$

Solution Steps

Add 3 to both sides.

$$x=5-2x_{50}+3$$

Add 5 and 3 to get 8.

$$x=8-2x_{50}$$

Solve for x_50

$$x_{50}=-\frac{x}{2}+4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$5-2x_{50}=x-3$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$-2x_{50}=x-3-5$$

Subtract 5 from -3 to get -8.

$$-2x_{50}=x-8$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-2x_{50}}{-2}=\frac{x-8}{-2}$$

Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.

$$x_{50}=\frac{x-8}{-2}$$

Divide x-8 by -2.

$$x_{50}=-\frac{x}{2}+4$$
