Please help me =
solve 7+x/3 = 2x-5

Answer 1

x =
`(22)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given

`(7+x)/(3)` = 2x - 5 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

7 + x = 3(2x - 5) ← distribute

7 + x = 6x - 15 ( subtract x from both sides )

7 = 5x - 15 ( add 15 to both sides )

22 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

`(22)/(5)` = x ( x = 4.4 )
