a two step equation that SIMPLIFIES using subtraction to get 5 as the solution for the variable. i need it for my project please help!

Many possible answers! One is x/5 + 2 = 3 (if I understand correctly)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with where you want to end up: x = 5. Next, you know you need to use subtraction to get where you want to be, so add any number to both sides, say, 10. That gets you x + 10 = 15. The final step would be to multiply or divide everything by a number to make it two steps. Both numbers are divisible by 5, so let's do that and make it x/5 + 2 = 3.

Let me know if this is not what you needed! I might have misunderstood! I'd be more than happy to fix a mistake. Good luck with your project! (:
