Question

$$x+2=3-2x+8$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $3$ and $8$ to get $11$.

$$x+2=11-2x$$

Add $2x$ to both sides.

$$x+2+2x=11$$

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

$$3x+2=11$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$3x=11-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $11$ to get $9$.

$$3x=9$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{9}{3}$$

Divide $9$ by $3$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
