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

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable i on one side of the equation.

First, let's combine like terms on both sides of the equation:

3i + 5 = 2i - 7

To get all the i terms on the left side, we can subtract 2i from both sides:

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

Simplifying both sides further:

i + 5 = -7

Next, we can isolate the variable i by subtracting 5 from both sides:

i + 5 - 5 = -7 - 5

Simplifying further:

i = -12

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