Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side.
D
To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side, using the Properties of Equality. In this case, we will use the Properties of Equality.
LHS+5=RHS+5
LHS+3x=RHS+3x
LHS-2x=RHS-2x
Add and subtract terms
.LHS /5.=.RHS /5.
The solution to the equation is x=2. This corresponds to answer D.
