Steps for finding the solution

We have 2x + 5 = 10

First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we subtract 5 from both sides.

Note: if a = b, then a - c = b - c

Therefore, 2x + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5

or, 2x = 5

Next, divide both sides by 2, which is the coefficent of x

Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

2x/2 = 5/2

x = 5/2 or, x = 2.5

Solve another equation
