Question

2x + 3x - 5 = 1500

Answer 1

2x + 3x - 5 = 1500

2x + 3x = 1500 + 5

5x = 1505

x = 1505 : 5

x = 301

Answer 2

x(2+3)-5=1500

x5-5=1500

x5   =1500+5

x5    =1495

x    =1495:5

x   =299

Answer 3

\(\text{2x + 3x - 5 = 1500}\)

\(2x+3x=1500+5\)

\(2x+3x=1505\)

\(5x=1505\)

\(x=1505:5\)

\(x=301\)
