To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable by performing inverse operations.
To get rid of the -7 term, we add 7 to both sides:
5x - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7
5x = 10
Next, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
(5x) / 5 = 10 / 5
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5x - 7 = 3 is x = 2.
To get rid of the -7 term, we add 7 to both sides:
5x - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7
5x = 10
Next, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
(5x) / 5 = 10 / 5
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5x - 7 = 3 is x = 2.
