Solve for x 2+(3+5)=(2+x)+5

$2 + (3 + 5) = (2 + x) + 5$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $2 + x + 5 = 2 + 3 + 5$ .

$2 + x + 5 = 2 + 3 + 5$

Step 2

Add $2$ and $5$ .

$x + 7 = 2 + 3 + 5$

Step 3

Simplify $2 + 3 + 5$ .

Add $2$ and $3$ .

$x + 7 = 5 + 5$

Add $5$ and $5$ .

$x + 7 = 10$

Step 4

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = 10 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $10$ .

$x = 3$
