To solve for x, we need to combine like terms and isolate the variable.
Starting with the given equation:
3x - 7 - 2x + 5 = 6
We can simplify by combining the like terms:
(3x - 2x) + (-7 + 5) = 6
x - 2 = 6
To isolate x, we need to get rid of the constant term (-2) by adding 2 to both sides of the equation:
x - 2 + 2 = 6 + 2
x = 8
So the solution for x is x = 8.
Solve for x.
3x−7−2x+5=6
