Answer: X=5 :)

Step-by-step explanation: We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3x-2=2x-7

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+3x-2x=-7+2

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+1x=-5

We divide both sides of the equation by 1 to get x.

x=-5

Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

3x+2=2x+7

Subtract 2x from each side

3x-2x+2=2x-2x+7

x +2 = 7

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = 7-2

x = 5
