Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  2 • (x + 3) -  5x  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   6 - 3x  =   -3 • (x - 2) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -3 • (x - 2)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    -3   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    x-2 = 0 

 Add  2  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 2
