Question

$$7+5x=2x+35$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{28}{3} = 9\frac{1}{3} \approx 9.333333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$7+5x-2x=35$$

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

$$7+3x=35$$

Subtract $7$ from both sides.

$$3x=35-7$$

Subtract $7$ from $35$ to get $28$.

$$3x=28$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{28}{3}$$
