5x-3=3x+7 solve the following linear equation

1.	5x-3=3x+7 solve the following linear equation
Answer» To SOLVE this, we'll bring the variable TERMS to one side and the CONSTANTS to the other. We have: 5x - 3 = 3X + 7 We can transpose 3x to the L.H.S and transpose -3 to the R.H.S (Remember the positive/negative sign changes accordingly) 5x - 3x = 3 + 7 Now we can solve: 2x = 10 x = 10/2 x = 5 ∴ x = 5 is the final answer Hope this helped!

To SOLVE this, we'll bring the variable TERMS to one side and the CONSTANTS to the other.

We have:

5x - 3 = 3X + 7

We can transpose 3x to the L.H.S and transpose -3 to the R.H.S (Remember the positive/negative sign changes accordingly)

5x - 3x = 3 + 7

Now we can solve:

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

∴ x = 5 is the final answer

Hope this helped!
