Answer:

  • 2.5


\:

Given Equation,


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 3x+2=2x+7}}}}}}} \\ \\

Subtracting 2 from both sides we get :


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x+2 - 2=2x+7-2}}}}}}} \\ \\


{\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x=2x+5}}}}}}} \\ \\

Subtracting 2x from both sides we get :


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x-2x=2x+5-2x}}}}}}} \\ \\


{\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 2x=5}}}}}}} \\ \\

Dividing 2 from both sides we get :


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { (2x)/(2) = (5)/(2) }}}}}}} \\ \\


{\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\frak {x = 2.5 }}}}}}} \\ \\

Therefore,

  • The value of x is 2.5
