Solve 5=2x+3

$$5 = 2x + 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$2x+3=5$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$2x=5-3$$

Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2.

$$2x=2$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{2}{2}$$

Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.

$$x=1$$
