1 answer

To solve the equation \(3x - 7 - 2x + 5 = 6\), let's first simplify the left side:

  1. Combine like terms: \[ (3x - 2x) + (-7 + 5) = 6 \] \[ x - 2 = 6 \]

  2. Now, add 2 to both sides to isolate \(x\): \[ x = 6 + 2 \] \[ x = 8 \]

The solution is \(x = 8\).

So the correct response is: x = 8
