2x-3=7

3 answers

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by performing inverse operations.

Starting with 2x - 3 = 7, we add 3 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

Simplifying, we get:

2x = 10

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

(2x)/2 = 10/2

Simplifying, we get:

x = 5

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x - 3 = 7 is x = 5.
you are wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's redo the solution.

Starting with 2x - 3 = 7, we want to isolate the variable x.

First, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

Simplifying gives:

2x = 10

To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 2:

(2x)/2 = 10/2

This simplifies to:

x = 5

So, the solution to the equation 2x - 3 = 7 is indeed x = 5.

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
