Answer:
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5x-1=3x+5[/tex]
Get the x's on one side.
Add 1:
[tex]5x-1=3x+5\\\box \ \ +1) \ \ (\ \ \ \ +1)[/tex]
[tex]5x=3x+6[/tex]
Subtract 3x from both sides.
[tex]\ \ \ 5x=\ \: 3x+6\\\underline{-3x} \ \ \ \ \underline{-3x}\\[/tex]
[tex]2x = 6[/tex]
Finally, divide both sides by 2.
[tex]2x / 2 = 6/2[/tex]
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
