Set the x’s equal to each other, so move them to the same side.
2+5x+3x=7
Now move the 2 over to set it equal to 7.
5x+3x=7-2
Add/Subtract as necessary.
5x+3x=8x
7-2=5
8x=5.
Divide to make the X stand alone to find the answer. x=5/8.
Your answer is 5/8ths.

Step 1:
Move the 3x to the leftbside by adding 3x to both -3x snd 5x. So you now have 2+2x=7

Step 2:
subtrac2 3 from both 7 and 2, so you know have 2x=5.

Step 3:
divide 2x and 5 by 2. You noe have the answer: x=2.5
