Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is 3x+x−5=253x +x -5 =25 . We are solving for xx

STEP 2

First, we need to combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
x+2x−5=25⇒(x+2x)−5=25x +2x -5 =25 \Rightarrow (x +2x) -5 =25

STEP 3

Now, add the xx terms together.
5x−5=255x -5 =25

STEP 4

Next, we need to isolate xx on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding $$ to both sides of the equation.
x−+=25+x - + =25 +

STEP 5

implify both sides of the equation.
5x=305x =30

STEP 6

Finally, we can solve for xx by dividing both sides of the equation by 55.
x=305x = \frac{30}{5}

STEP 7

Calculate the value of xx.
x=305=6x = \frac{30}{5} =6The solution to the equation is x=6x =6.
