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 :)

(x^2-2) (x^2+3x+5)= x^2(x^2+3x+5) -2(x^2+3x+5)= x^4 +3x^3 +5x^2 -2x^2 -6x -10= x^4 +3x^3 +3x^2 -6x -10
-(3x -2) = 17 -3x + 2 = 17 - 3x = 15 x = -5
If you meant (x/5) + 2 = 3x/5 = 1x =5-----------------If you meant x/(5+2) = 3x/(7) = 3x = 21
The difference between a one step problem, and a two step problem is very simple. It refers to the amount of effort and steps that are in your problem. For example, 3x=5, is a one step equation. 3x-7=5, is a two step equation.
Assuming you mean 3x - 2 = 9x - 5...3x - 2 = 9x - 53x + 3 = 9x3 = 6x0.5 = x
