Solving Linear Equations
-
The first step is to isolate the term containing the variable, which is $2x$ in this case. This can be achieved by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.
-
After subtracting 5 from both sides, the equation becomes $2x = 10$.
-
The next step is to isolate the variable "$x$" by dividing both sides of the equation by 2.
-
Solving for $x$ in the equation $2x + 5 = 15$ gives us $x = 5$.
-
If the equation was $2x + 5 = 20$, then following the same steps, the value of $x$ would be $7.5$.
