2x - 3 = 7

1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step.

To isolate "x", we need to get rid of the constant term "-3" on the left side. We can do this by adding 3 to both sides:

2x - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

Simplifying the equation:

2x = 10

Now, we need to isolate "x" by dividing both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 10/2

Simplifying the equation:

x = 5

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