Question

-3x+7=-5+x how do we solve it

Answer 1

Given,

$\[ - 3x + 7 = - 5 + x\]$

Solution,

Following are the steps to solve it

(a)Take the terms containing x on one side and the constants on the other side.

(b)Apply the mathematical operation on each side.

(c) Calculate the unit value of x.

Therefore,

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow - 3x + 7 = - 5 + x\\ \Rightarrow - 3x - x = - 5 - 7\\ \Rightarrow - 4x = - 12\\ \Rightarrow x = 3\end{array}\]$

Hence, the value of $\[x\]$ is $\[3.\]$
