How to solve (- 5x) - (- 7x)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

The opposite of $-7x$ is $7x$.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-5x+7x)$$

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

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(2x)$$

The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$2x^{1-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $1$.

$$2x^{0}$$

For any term $t$ except $0$, $t^{0}=1$.

$$2\times 1$$

For any term $t$, $t\times 1=t$ and $1t=t$.

$$2$$
