Question

Please solve

`(7 + 2x)/(3) = 5`
​

Answer 1

x=-3

Explanation:

We move all terms to the left:

7+2x/3-(5)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x/3+2=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

2x+2*3=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x+6=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

2x=-6

x=-6/2

x=-3
