How to solve 2x + 15 = 95? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 2x + 15 = 95
First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we subtract 15 from both sides.
Note: if a = b, then a - c = b - cTherefore, 2x + 15 - 15 = 95 - 15
or, 2x = 80
Next, divide both sides by 2, which is the coefficent of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c2x2 = 802
x = 802
To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 2, which is the GCF of 80 and 2:
x = 401 or, x = 40
