How to solve X = 5x + 2

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$X=5x+2$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{X-2}{5}$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$5x+2=X$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$5x=X-2$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{X-2}{5}$$

Dividing by $5$ undoes the multiplication by $5$.

$$x=\frac{X-2}{5}$$
