I'm going to assume that there's an 'equals' sign ( = ) between the 5 and the 5 .
If that's so, then you have a simple linear equation in 'x', which
you're probably expecting me to solve for you.
2x + 5 = 5x - 4
Subtract 2x from each side of the equation:
5 = 3x - 4
Add 4 to each side:
9 = 3x
Divide each side by 3 :
3 = x
