1 answer

To solve the equation \( 3x - 7 - 2x + 5 = 6 \), let's first break down the steps:

Optional Step: Combine like terms.

Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation. \[ 3x - 2x - 7 + 5 = 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 2 = 6 \]

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides. \[ x = 6 + 2 \]

Step 3: Solve for x. \[ x = 8 \]

Now, choosing the correct responses for each step:

Step 1: Combine like terms. Step 2: Add 2 to both sides. Step 3: Solve for x.

The answer for the equation \( x \) is: x = 8.
