I assume you mean 3x-2=5

To solve this (to find x) you need to make it so that on 1 side you have ?x and the other, an equation.

To make 3x-2 equal 3x, you need to add 2, once you have done that, that side equals 2 more than the other side so you need to add 2 to 5.

The equation is now 3x-2+2=5+2

OR 3x=7

Divide 7 by 3 to get x.

7/3=2.33333..... (the 3 reccures)

Hope this helps :)

How much greater is 3x plus 2 than 5-7x?

You're asking for the difference: (3x + 2) - (5 - 7x).(3x + 2) - (5 - 7x) =3x + 2 - 5 + 7x =10x - 3.It is (10x - 3) greater.

What is x plus 4z-5-3x then x equals 2 and z equals 3x?

If the question is x + 4z - 5 - 3x when x = 2 and z = 3x, then First simplify the original statement x + 4z - 5 - 3x = 4z - 5 - 2x Secondly substitute in 3x for z 4z - 5 - 2x = 4*3x - 5 - 2x = 12x - 5 - 2x = 10x - 5 Lastly substitute 2 for the x 10x - 5 = 10*2 - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 or x + 4z - 5 - 3x when x = 2 and z = 3x, so z = 3*2 = 6 x + 4z - 5 - 3x = 4z - 5 - 2x (replace the variables with the corresponding values) = 4*6 - 5 - 2*2 = 24 - 5 - 4 = 24 - 9 = 15
