Answer

-5.00

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

  1. Simplify the equation.

    Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.

    2x−x+5=02x - x + 5 = 0 (2−1)x+5=0(2-1)x + 5 = 0 x+5=0x + 5 = 0

  2. Solve for xx.

    Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

    x+5−5=0−5x + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5 x=−5x = -5

  3. Express the answer to two decimal places.

    Since -5 is an integer, to express it to two decimal places, we write it as -5.00.

    x=−5.00x = -5.00

    The solution to the equation is:

    −5.00-5.00
