The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(2x - 3 = x + 2\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the equation We start with the equation: \[ 2x - 3 = x + 2 \] ### Step 2: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side To isolate \(x\), we will subtract \(x\) from both sides of the equation: \[ 2x - x - 3 = 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 3 = 2 \] ### Step 3: Move constant terms to the other side Next, we will add \(3\) to both sides to isolate \(x\): \[ x - 3 + 3 = 2 + 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 5 \] ### Conclusion The value of \(x\) is: \[ \boxed{5} \] ---
