How do I solve for x: 2x+5= 4x-5
do the same to both sides so Figure out which side has the bigger x 4x is biggerso get rid of the numbmers on the 4xsideadd 5 to both sides to get rid of the-5 on the 4x sideend up with
2x+5+5=4x+5-5 2x+10=4x subtract 2x from both sides2x-2x+10=4x-2x 10=2xdivide both sides by 2 5=x
Move over 2x to the right:
5 = 2x - 5
Then move -5 to the left:
10 = 2x
After that, divide both sides by 2, so
x = 5.
