Answer:
X=2

Explain:
If you add 3 to both sides you get 4 and if you subtract 2x from both side you get 2x and so basically yk u have to divide. So, now you divide 2x by 4 and you get 2.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-2x=7+3 (collect like terms, calculate the sum)

2x=10 (divide both sides by 2x)

so therefore x=5
