Question

Solve for x.
I need this ASAP so please help me!

-x+7= x-5

Answer 1

First is to collect like terms therefore bring the x to the right and the numbers to the left side:

-x+7=x-5

5+7=x+x

12=2x

Divide both sides by 2 so that we find the value of x

12/2=2x/2

6=x

Answer 2

-x + 7 = x - 5
add x to both sides of the equation
7 = 2x - 5
add 5 to both sides of the equation
12 = 2x
divide 2 from both sides of the equation
6 = x
