Solve for X: Finding the Solution to (x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2)

Question

Solve for X:

x3+5=82 x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2

Step-by-Step Solution

First, simplify both sides of the equation:

Left side: x3+5=x+2 x - 3 + 5 = x + 2

Right side: 82=6 8 - 2 = 6

Now the equation is: x+2=6 x + 2 = 6

Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate x x :

x+22=62 x + 2 - 2 = 6 - 2

Simplifying gives:

x=4 x = 4

Answer

4
