Solve the equation: 3x − x − 5 = 2(x + 2) − 9 No solution, 1, All real numbers, 0

I hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + -1x + -5 = 2(x + 2) + -9

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 3x + -1x = 2(x + 2) + -9

Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 2(x + 2) + -9

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2x = 2(2 + x) + -9

-5 + 2x = (2 * 2 + x * 2) + -9

-5 + 2x = (4 + 2x) + -9

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2x = 4 + -9 + 2x

Combine like terms: 4 + -9 = -5

-5 + 2x = -5 + 2x

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = -5 + 5 + 2x

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = -5 + 5 + 2x

2x = -5 + 5 + 2x

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

2x = 0 + 2x

2x = 2x

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

2x + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

0 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0
