Question

Solve the equation by applying the rules for rewriting equations 2x + 2 = 5x - 7

Answer 1

It is 3.

Explanation:

To find the answer you subtract 2x from 5x and then you add 7 to 2 and then you divide 3x to both sides and you get 3.

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

Subtract 5x - 2x to get x on one side. Then your equation will look like like: 2= 3x - 7. Add the 7 to the other side so that you can get the x by itself. 9 = 3x. Then divide by 3
