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 :)
