Given the equation:

2x + 5 + 256

Determine the value of x.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of x, we simply need to combine first 5 and 256, then transpose 2x on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

= 2x + 5 + 256

= 2x + 261

-2x = 261

Divide both sides by -2 in order to cancel out -2x, leaving behind x.

-2x/-2 = 261/-2

x = -130.5

Final answer:

x = -130.5
