Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

Move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign to the opposite. the constant in this equation is +2. the new equation looks like this: 5x=7-2. After subtracting on the right (7-2) the new equation should be 5x=5. divide both sides of the equation by 5. the answer is x=1
