Answer
$x = 2.5$
Work Step by Step
$2 x = 5$
To get the possible solution of the equation, we need to divide through by the coefficient of the variable as shown below:
$2x / 2 = 5 / 2$
Simplifying the equation, we have:
$x = 5 / 2$
We now need to simplify further the improper fraction to get:
$x = 2.5$
