Hey there!

7 - 2x = 5

-2x + 7 = 5

SUBTRACT 7 to BOTH SIDES

-2x + 7 - 7 = 5 - 7

CANCEL out: 7 - 7 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 5 - 7 because it helps solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: -2x = 5 - 7

SIMPLIFY IT!

-2x = -2

DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES

-2x/-2 = -2/-2

CANCEL out: -2/-2 (on the LEFT SIDE) because that gives you 1

KEEP: -2/-2 (on the RIGHT SIDE) because it helps you solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = -2/-2

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 1

Therefore, your answer should be: x = 1

Checking to make sure it is correct!

-2x + 7 = 5

-2(1) + 7 = 5

-2 + 7 = 5

So, this makes this statement TRUE

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
