Given the numerical equation:
5 + 20 - 22 - 3x = 10 - 2 - 2x + 5
Determine the value of x.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of x, we simply need to combine all the values first.
5 + 20 - 22 - 3x = 10 - 2 - 2x + 5
3 - 3x = 3 - 2x
Transpose -3x and 3 on their opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
3 - 3 = - 2x + 3
0 = x
Final answer:
x = 0
