Question

$$5x-3x=5x$$

Solve for x

$x=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $5x$ and $-3x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x=5x$$

Subtract $5x$ from both sides.

$$2x-5x=0$$

Combine $2x$ and $-5x$ to get $-3x$.

$$-3x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $-3$ is not equal to $0$, $x$ must be equal to $0$.

$$x=0$$
