Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3x - 7 - 2x + 5 = 6 \), you can follow these steps:

Optional Step: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

Step 1: Combine the terms with \( x \) and the constant terms:
\( 3x - 2x - 7 + 5 = 6 \)

Step 2: Simplify the left side:
\( x - 2 = 6 \)

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides to isolate \( x \):
\( x = 6 + 2 \)

After performing these steps, you will find the value of \( x \).
