Solve the equation shown.
3x+5=-2x+15
You can use the sketch tools to show your work if needed.
To solve the equation 3x + 5 = -2x + 15, we first need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Let's start by adding 2x to both sides of the equation:
3x + 5 + 2x = -2x + 15 + 2x
This simplifies to:
5x + 5 = 15
Next, let's subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
5x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5
This simplifies to:
5x = 10
To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5:
(5x)/5 = 10/5
This simplifies to:
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x + 5 = -2x + 15 is x = 2.
