Question

X-7=-2x-5 can someone help me with the steps

Answer 1

Hello there!

We, you need to put all the common terms together.

x - 7 = -2x - 5
x + 2x = -5 + 7
3x = 2
x = 2/3
In decimal x = 0.67


I hope that helps!

Answer 2

x-7 - -2x-5

answer is 2/3

X-7 + 2X= -2x-5+2x

3x-7= -5


3x-7+7= -5+7 (getting x alone)

3x=2

divide by 3 to get x

3x/3 =2/3

x=2/3
