Answer:
Simplifying
2(x + -5) = 3x + -7
Reorder the terms:
2(-5 + x) = 3x + -7
(-5 * 2 + x * 2) = 3x + -7
(-10 + 2x) = 3x + -7
Reorder the terms:
-10 + 2x = -7 + 3x
Solving
-10 + 2x = -7 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 2x + -3x = -7 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
-10 + -1x = -7 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-10 + -1x = -7 + 0
-10 + -1x = -7
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + -1x = -7 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -1x = -7 + 10
-1x = -7 + 10
Combine like terms: -7 + 10 = 3
-1x = 3
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -3
Simplifying
x = -3

Answer:
hey mate here is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-5)=3 x-7
2 x- 10= 3 x-7
2 x-3 x= -7 + 10
- x= 3
so x= -3
verification
substitute the value of x
2 (-3) - 10= 3 (-3)- 7
-6-10=-9-7
-16=-16
hope it helps you
