Solve for X:x−3+5=8−2 x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2 x−3+5=8−2
First, simplify both sides of the equation:
Left side: x−3+5=x+2 x - 3 + 5 = x + 2 x−3+5=x+2
Right side: 8−2=6 8 - 2 = 6 8−2=6
Now the equation is: x+2=6 x + 2 = 6 x+2=6
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate x x x:
x+2−2=6−2 x + 2 - 2 = 6 - 2 x+2−2=6−2
Simplifying gives:
x=4 x = 4 x=4
