Question

$$7x+3=2(x-1)+7$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x-1$.

$$7x+3=2x-2+7$$

Add $-2$ and $7$ to get $5$.

$$7x+3=2x+5$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$7x+3-2x=5$$

Combine $7x$ and $-2x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x+3=5$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$5x=5-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $5$ to get $2$.

$$5x=2$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{2}{5}$$
