2 x 5 = 99
Consonants (i.e. 1,2,…) and variables (i.e. a, b, x, y…) must be separated.
In this case,
5 is in minus on the left side, so switch it to the right side with the opposite symbol, i.e. +.
2x=99+5=2x=99+5=2x=99+
104 = 2x
Now that 2 has been multiplied by x, shift it to the right side with the opposite symbol, i.e.
104/2 = x
x = 52
Thank you.
