Final answer:

To create an equation that meets the given criteria, we can start with a simple equation and use inverse operations to solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create an equation that meets the given criteria, we can start with a simple equation such as:

2x + 5 = 7x - 3

To solve this equation, we can use two inverse operations: subtracting 2x from both sides and adding 3 to both sides. The steps would be as follows:

  1. 2x - 2x + 5 = 7x - 2x - 3
  2. 5 = 5x - 3
  3. 5 + 3 = 5x - 3 + 3
  4. 8 = 5x
  5. 8 ÷ 5 = x

The solution to the equation is x = 8/5 or 1.6.
