Answer:x=5/9


Step-by-step explanation: Combine like terms by adding 2 to both sides and isolating the x on one side of the equation.

7x=-2x+5

9x=5

The next step will lead us to the answer. All we simply have to do is divide both sides by 9.

9x=5

9x/9=5/9

Which leads us to the answer.

x=5/9

x=5/9 Hope this helps!
