To solve the equation \( 5 = 6x - 7 \), follow these steps:
-
Add 7 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 5 + 7 = 6x - 7 + 7 \] \[ 12 = 6x \]
-
Divide both sides by 6 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{12}{6} \] \[ x = 2 \]
So, the solution to the equation \( 5 = 6x - 7 \) is \( x = 2 \).
