Question

Find 'x' in 2x+5=-7​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

2x + 5 = -7

Reorder the terms:

5 + 2x = -7

Solving

5 + 2x = -7

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 2x = -7 + -5

2x = -7 + -5

Combine like terms: -7 + -5 = -12

2x = -12

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -6

Simplifying

x = -6
