Question

2x-7=-3x+18


solve for x

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

2x - 7 = -3x + 18

2x - 7 + 7 = -3x + 18 + 7

2x = -3x + 25

2x + 3x = -3x + 25 + 3x

5x = 25

x = 5

Answer 2

x=5

Explanation:

2x−7=−3x+18

Step 1: Add 3x to both sides.

2x−7+3x=−3x+18+3x

5x−7=18

Step 2: Add 7 to both sides.

5x−7+7=18+7

5x=25

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5x
