    Ok so first lets make the equation

    3x=5+2x

    we subtract 2 on each side

    x=5

    3x (three times a number) = (is the same as) 5 + (five more than) 2x (twice the number)

    or, 3x = 5+2x

    then subtract 2x from both sides: x = 5

    Which should make sense, three times 5 is 15. 5 plus two times 5 is also 15.
