Question

Whats: solve for x; 5x-7=2x-3

Answer 1

X=4/3=1.33

Explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

5x-7+7=2x-3+7 (First, add 7 from both sides.)

-3+7 (Solve.)

-3+7=4

5x=2x+4

5x-2x=2x+4-2x (Next, subtract 2x from both sides.)

5x-2x (Solve.)

5x-2x=3x

3x=4

3x/3=4/3 (Then, divide by 3 from both sides.)

4/3 (Solve.)

4/3=1.33

x=4/3=1.33

The correct answer is x=4/3=1.33.
