Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation 3x + 5 = -2x + 15, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
First, let's add 2x to both sides to eliminate the -2x term on the right side:
3x + 5 + 2x = -2x + 15 + 2x
This simplifies to:
5x + 5 = 15
Next, let's subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the variable term:
5x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5
This simplifies to:
5x = 10
Finally, let's divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
(5x)/5 = 10/5
This simplifies to:
x = 2
So the solution to the equation 3x + 5 = -2x + 15 is x = 2.
