what does 3x - 0.5 = 5x - 2 equal? I need because I am not very good at solving equations like this in math!

3x - 0.5 = 5x - 2   isolate x to the LHS

3x - 5x = -2 + 0.5

-2x = - 1.5             divide both sides by -2

x = -1.5 / -2

x =0.75

ques is

3x-0.5=5x-2

keeping algebric terms at one place..

2-0.5 = 5x-3x

1.5 = 2x

x = 1.5/2

x = 0.75
