To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. First, let's add 7 to both sides of the equation:
-5 + 7 = 2x - 7 + 7
2 = 2x
Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2/2 = 2x/2
1 = x
Therefore, x equals 1. The simplified answer is x = 1.
solve for x.
-5 = 2x - 7
simplify your answer as much as possible.
