Answer:
x = 5
Explanation:
Hello!
For this equation, we start by combining like terms. Since we have two terms with the same variable, we are able to add them together:
3x + 2x + 7 = 32
5x + 7 = 32
As you can see, we added 3x and 2x together.
Now, since we are aiming to get x by itself, we need to subtract 7, from both sides:
5x + 7 = 32
5x = 25
Finally, we divide the 5 attached onto the x by itself, which will leave the x alone on one side:
5x = 25
x = 5
Again, we divided on both sides.
And, there you have it!
x = 5
Hope I helped!
