Solve for x:

Question

5x − 7 = 3

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 5x - 7 = 3 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 7 to both sides of the equation:

\[ 5x - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 5x = 10 \]

2. Next, divide both sides by 5:

\[ x = \frac{10}{5} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 2 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{2} \]
