Answer:

x = 17/2 or 8.5

Explanation:

Here is your problem:

2x = 10 + 7

First we are going to add 7 to both sides.

2x = 10 + 7

+7 +7

Second, we are going to simplify.

2x = 17 (because 10+7 is 17)

Lastly, we are going to divide both sides by 2.

2x = 17

/2 /2

Your answer will be:

x = 17/2 OR 8.5
