Question

Solve 4x-3 = 2x+7.​

Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

4x -3 = 2x +7

Let's start by getting the 2x away from the seven. Subtract the 2x from itself and from 4x. We will subtract 2 because a negative will cancel out the positive.

2x -3 = +7

Now let's get the -3 away from 2x. Add 3 to the -3 and the +7. We will add because a positive will cancel out the negative.

2x = +10

Then divide +10 by 2 to get the final answer.

Answer 2

x=5

Explanation:

4x-3 = 2x+7.​

Subtract 2x from each side

4x-2x-3 = 2x-2x+7.​

2x-3 = 7

Add 3 to each side

2x-3+3 = 7+3

2x= 10

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5
