Solve for X:5x−3=2 5x - 3 = 2 5x−3=2
Step-by-step solution:
1. Begin with the equation: 5x−3=2 5x - 3 = 2 5x−3=2
2. Add 3 to both sides: 5x−3+3=2+3 5x - 3 + 3 = 2 + 3 5x−3+3=2+3, which simplifies to 5x=5 5x = 5 5x=5
3. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x: x=55 x = \frac{5}{5} x=55
4. Simplify the division: x=1 x = 1 x=1
