Question
Solve the equation
x=221
Alternative Form
x=0.04˙5˙
Evaluate
3−(2−x)=23x
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
3−(2−x)
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
Subtract the numbers
1+x
1+x=23x
Move the variable to the left side
1+x−23x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
x−23x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(1−23)x
Subtract the numbers
−22x
1−22x=0
Move the constant to the right side
−22x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−22x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
22x=1
Divide both sides
2222x=221
Solution
x=221
Alternative Form
x=0.04˙5˙
