First, you have to know what 'solve' means, so you know what you're looking for.

'Solve' means find a number for 'x' that will make the problem a true statement

when you plug that number in wherever 'x' appears.

Here's how to find it. First, write the problem down and look at it:

x - 5 = 2x

Now subtract 'x' from each side:

-5 = x

And there you are.

How do you solve x - x x?

x10 = x5.x5 = (x5)2 [x power five whole squared] Equation is x10 + x5 - 2 Replacing x10 (x5)2+x5 - 2 Substituting x5 by Y Equation becomes Y2 + Y - 2 = 0 Y2 + 2Y - Y - 2 = 0 Y(Y + 2) - 1(Y+2) = 0 (Y-1)(Y+2) = 0 The values of Y are 1 and -2 Y = x5 = 1 Therefore, x = 1 Y = x5 = -2 x = fifth root of -2, which is an imaginary value.
