To prove this, we need to show that 2 is equal to x.

Given:

2(x + 5) - 3x = 7x - 6

Distribute:

2x + 10 - 3x = 7x - 6

Combine like terms:

-1x + 10 = 7x - 6

Add 1x to both sides of the equation:

10 = 8x - 6

Add 6 to both sides of the equation:

16 = 8x

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

2 = x

Reflexive property:

x = 2

2(x + 5) - 3x = 7x - 6

x = 2
