Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation; Add 5 to both sides of the equation

6x-5+5=2x+7+5

simplify: add the numbers

6x-5+5=2x+75 = 6x=2x + 7+5

6x =2x + 7+5

6x=2x +12.

subtract 2x from both ides of the equation: 6x=2x + 12

6x - 2x =2x + 12-2x6

combine like terms u should get 4x= 12

divided both sides of the equation by the same term 4x=12 4x/4 =12/4

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator u should get x=12/4

divided the numbers and ur answer is X=3
