Solve the equation: Give your answer as a fraction in its lowest terms:

2x-5=7-6x

I'm getting -1/3 but i think that's wrong!?!

Would appreciate some help please thanks! M

8x = 12
x = 12/8 = 3/2
Answered by PsyDAG
Add 6x and 5 to both sides.

8x = 12

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 1.5

drwls's and PsyDAG's answers are the same. They are math teachers/tutors. I'd trust their process and answers.
