Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\sf x=4}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf 5 = 2x -3[/tex]
1) Switch Sides:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf 2x-3=5[/tex]
2) Add 3 to both sides:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf 2x-3+3=5+3[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto\sf 2x=8[/tex]
3) Divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{2x}{2}=\cfrac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto\sf x=4[/tex]
