Solve for x 3x-5=2x+6

$3 x - 5 = 2 x + 6$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 x - 5 - 2 x = 6$

Subtract $2 x$ from $3 x$ .

$x - 5 = 6$

Step 2

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

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 6 + 5$

Add $6$ and $5$ .

$x = 11$
