The solution of the given equation (x + 5) - ( 2x - 3) = 6 is 2.
What is a linear equation?
A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1.
The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.
The given equation is;
(x + 5) - ( 2x - 3) = 6
To solve;
(x + 5) - ( 2x - 3) = 6
Distribute the negative;
(x + 5) - 2x + 3 = 6
we need to get the like terms together;
x - 2x + 5+ 3 = 6
-x + 8 = 6
Subtract 8 from both sides, we get;
-x = -2
x = 2
Hence, the solution of the given equation is 2.
