Answer:


2-3x=6x-7\\x=1

(There are a lot more combinations tho. Read more!)

Explanation:

The first thing to notice is that the answer has to be a whole number and that there are only 5 spaces.

Another thing to notice is that one of the x's is negative.

So the easiest thing is to set
x=1.

The we can work backwards. There are multiple solutions that we can use. But any combination that adds to the same number will work.

Such as:


2-3x=6x-7\\x=1

or


2-5x=3x-6\\x=1

And so on.
