Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + -7 = 3x + 2

Reorder the terms:

-7 + 5x = 3x + 2

Reorder the terms:

-7 + 5x = 2 + 3x

Solving

-7 + 5x = 2 + 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.

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

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

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

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-7 + 2x = 2 + 0

-7 + 2x = 2

Add '7' to each side of the equation.

-7 + 7 + 2x = 2 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0

0 + 2x = 2 + 7

2x = 2 + 7

Combine like terms: 2 + 7 = 9

2x = 9

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 4.5

Simplifying

x = 4.5
