3i+5=2i−7

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we want to isolate the variable, which in this case is "i".

Let's simplify both sides of the equation:

3i + 5 = 2i - 7

To isolate the "i" terms on one side, we can subtract 2i from both sides:

3i + 5 - 2i = 2i - 7 - 2i

This simplifies to:

i + 5 = -7

Now, to isolate the "i" term, we can subtract 5 from both sides:

i + 5 - 5 = -7 - 5

This simplifies to:

i = -12

Therefore, the solution to the equation is i = -12.
