Answer:


x=9

Explanation:

First Let's rewrite the equation.


2(x+5)-7=3(x-2)

Now lets simplify.

We will start by distributing.


(2)(x)+(2)(5)+(-7)=(3)(x)+(3)(-2)

That will now look like:


2x+10+(-7)=3x+(-6)

Now we will simplify even further.

To do so we must combine like terms!


(2x)+(10+(-7))=3x(-6)

10 plus negative 7 is equal to 3.


2x + 3 is the first part of our equation.

Now we will want to isolate the x values.

To do so we will want to subtract 3 from both sides.

-6 minus 3 is equal to -9

Our new equation is


2x=3x-9

Now we will subtract 3x from both sides.

2x-3x= -x

Our new equation is:


-x=-9

Now we will divide both sides by 1, this way both sides will be positive.


(-x)/(1) =(-9)/(1)

That equals:


x=9

Thus, Our answer is
x=9!
