5=x

x=5
This would make both sides equal to 15.
To solve 2x+5=3x, do the following:
Subtract 2x from both sides to get 1x by itself.
(2x+5)-2x=(3x)-2x
5=x
x=5
To check your work, plug in 5 for x.
2(5)+5=10+5=15
3(5)=15
Since the "x" makes both sides equal to 15, then 2x+5=3x

2x + 5= 3x
2x - 3x = -5
- x = - 5
(-1) x = (-1) 5
x = 5

subtract 2x from each side.
2x + 5 = 3x
2x -2x +5 = 3x -2x
5 = x

No offense, bro, but if you need to go to the internet to solve this simple equation, you either need serious help with math...or you're just lazy.

I'm not sure. I think it's sixty-eight.
Or is it forty-seven?
Hmmm...
