To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we can start by adding 7 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side:
5x - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7
5x = 10
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
(5x)/5 = 10/5
x = 2
Therefore, the solution is x = 2.
Solve for x: 5x − 7 = 3
