5x equals 2x plus 27 x equals?

Answer 1

5x=2x+27

subtract 2x from both sides get get X on only 1 side of the equation.

5x-2x=2x-2x + 27

leaves you with

3x = 27

divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

leaves you with x = 9

answer X=9

Answer 2

5x = 2x + 27

5x - 2x = 2x + 27 - 2x

3x = 27

x = 27/3

x = 9

Answer 3

X=9
