Question
Finally, last question for the same problem. Please see what I encircled. First, how come we multiply 2 on the left side instead of dividing 2 because that’s what we did on the left side (we divide 2)? Second, how come the final answer is a negative (-)? Thanks.

Expert Solution
Step 1

I start with  from 4-th line of second image. I get

                    3x= 5x+353

our task is to find the value of x,   

At first we subtract 353 from both sides and we get,

              3x-353= 5x+353-353

Now we just simplify above,

            3x-353= 5x+353-353

Now we get,

                  3x-353= 5x

Now we just rearrange the above equations

                  5x=3x-353

Now,  we subtract 3x from both sides and we get,

                5x-3x=3x-353-3x

Simplify above

              2x=3x-353-3x

We get

            2x=-353,           [because of this your final answer is negative, this is your second doubt]
