Question

$$5 x - 7 = 2 x + 29$$

Solve for x

$x=12$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$5x-7-2x=29$$

Combine $5x$ and $-2x$ to get $3x$.

$$3x-7=29$$

Add $7$ to both sides.

$$3x=29+7$$

Add $29$ and $7$ to get $36$.

$$3x=36$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{36}{3}$$

Divide $36$ by $3$ to get $12$.

$$x=12$$
