The equation is true.

10x + 5 = 8x + 2

Subtract 5 from both sides.

10x = 8x - 3

Subtract 8x from both sides.

2x = -3

Subtract both sides by 2.

x = -1.5

Because we are able to get a value for x, we know that the equation is true, as we can plug the value of x back into the original equation to verify.

10(-1.5) + 5 = 8(-1.5) + 2

-15 + 5 = -12 + 2

-10 = -10 √ this equation is true.

For the equation 10x + 5 = 8x + 2, the statement is true.

The given equation is 10x + 5 = 8x + 2.

The first thing to do is to subtract 5 from both sides.

10x + 5 - 5 = 8x + 2 - 5

10x = 8x - 3

Then, we'll subtract 8x and this will be:

10x - 8x = -3

2x = -3

Divide both side by 2

2x/2 = -3/2

x = -1.5

10x + 5 = 8x + 2,

10(-1.5) + 5 = 8(-1.5) + 2

-15 + 5 = -12 + 2

10 = 10

Therefore, the statement is true
