Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step:

3x − 7 − 2x + 5 = 6

First, we can combine like terms (the x terms and the constant terms separately):

(3x − 2x) + (−7 + 5) = 6

Doing this simplification:

x − 2 = 6

Now, we can isolate x by adding 2 to both sides of the equation:

x − 2 + 2 = 6 + 2

Now, we have:

x = 8

Therefore, the solution is:

x = 8
