Solve for x: -2 + 3x = 2x + 48

x=50

Step-by-step explanation:

all you do is bring the like terms to the same side.

to bring 2x to 3x you need to change the sign so now it's 3x-2x which equals x.

then to bring -2 to 48, you change the sign of -2 so now it's 2+48 which equals 50!

hope this helped! im not sure if i explained it well or not .

=50

Step-by-step explanation:

-2+3x=2x+48

48+2=2x-3x

50=x

therefore, x = 50

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
