5-6x=2+7x
subtract 2 on both sides which would look like
5-6x= 2+7x
-2 =-2
so you will get
3-6x=7x
now you add 6x on both sides
3-6x= 7x
+6x=+6x
so now you would get
3=13x
so now you divide 13 on both sides
3=13x
/13=/13
so your answer is
x=3/13 or as a decimal x=0.230769

hope this helped

the first thing you do is subtract 2 from both sides to move the 2 to the left side
3-6x=7x
now add 6x to both sides to move -6x to the right
3=13x
divide by 13 to eliminate the 13 on the right side
3/13
