Question

Please help me understand this
2x+3=7x

Answer 1

`\sf \large \: x = (3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x+3=7x

Step 1: Subtract 7x from both sides.

2x+3−7x=7x−7x

−5x+3=0

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

−5x+3−3=0−3

−5x=−3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x/−5 = −3/−5

x=3/5

Answer 2

x = 3/5

Explanation:

Isolate the x by subtracting 2x from both sides

2x + 3 = 7x

-2x -2x

3 = 5x, Then divide by 5 on both sides

x = 3/5
