Answer

When you have an equation like 0=2x−30 = 2x - 3, the goal is to find the value of xx. To do this, you need to isolate the term with xx.

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Start with the equation.

    0=2x−30 = 2x - 3
  2. To eliminate the −3-3 on the right side, you perform the inverse operation, which is adding 3.

    To maintain the equality of the equation, you must perform the exact same operation on both sides.

    0+3=2x−3+30 \mathbf{+ 3} = 2x - 3 \mathbf{+ 3}
  3. Simplify both sides.

    On the left side: 0+3=30 + 3 = 3.
    On the right side: 2x−3+3=2x+0=2x2x - 3 + 3 = 2x + 0 = 2x.
    So, the equation becomes:

    3=2x3 = 2x

    This process ensures that the equation remains balanced and the value of xx is unchanged.
