3x−7−2x+5=6

what does x stand for

1 answer

To solve the equation \(3x - 7 - 2x + 5 = 6\), we will first combine like terms on the left side.

  1. Combine \(3x\) and \(-2x\): \[ (3x - 2x) + (-7 + 5) = 6
    \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 2 = 6 \]

  2. Next, add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate \(x\): \[ x = 6 + 2 \] \[ x = 8 \]

So, \(x\) stands for \(8\).
