Answer:

x=6

Explanation:

2x - 5 = 7

Add 5 to each side

2x-5+5= 7+5

2x = 12

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 12/2

x = 6

Hello There!

X = 6

First, we would add 5 to both sides so adding 5 to -5 is 0 and adding 5 to 7 is 12 so we would get the equation 2x = 12

Next, we would divide 2x by 2 and divide 12 by 2 and we would get a quotient of 6.

Our final answer is x = 6
