Question

Solve 7+x/3=2x-5 need it asap

Answer 1

x =
`(36)/(5)`

Explanation:

7 +
`(x)/(3)` = 2x - 5 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

`(x)/(3)` = 2x - 12 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

x = 6x - 36 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 5x = - 36 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x =
`(-36)/(-5)` =
`(36)/(5)` = 7.2 ( in decimal form )
