Question
Solve the equation
x=25
Alternative Form
x=2.5
Evaluate
3(2−x)+2x=3x−4
Move the expression to the left side
3(2−x)+2x−(3x−4)=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
3(2−x)+2x−(3x−4)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
3(2−x)+2x−3x+4
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
2x−3x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−3)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
3(2−x)−x+4
3(2−x)−x+4=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
3(2−x)−x+4
Expand the expression

Evaluate
−3x−x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−3−1)x
Subtract the numbers
−4x
10−4x
10−4x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−4x=0−10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−4x=−10
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4x=10
Divide both sides
44x=410
Divide the numbers
x=410
