Chapter : Linear equations

Lesson : Math of Junior High School

2x - 3 + 3x = -28

= 5x - 3 = -28

= 5x = -28 + 3

= 5x = -25

= x = -25 / 5

= x = 5

For this case we must find the value of "x" of the following expression:

[tex]2x-3 + 3x = -28[/tex]

We add similar terms:

[tex]5x-3 = -28[/tex]

We add 3 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]5x = -28 + 3[/tex]

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

[tex]5x = -25[/tex]

We divide between 5 on both sides of the equation:

[tex]x = \frac {-25} {5}\\x = -5[/tex]

ANswer:

[tex]x = -5[/tex]
