Answers
Simplifying
3x + -7 = x + 5
Reorder the terms:
-7 + 3x = x + 5
Reorder the terms:
-7 + 3x = 5 + x
Solving
-7 + 3x = 5 + x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 3x + -1x = 5 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x
-7 + 2x = 5 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-7 + 2x = 5 + 0
-7 + 2x = 5
Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + 2x = 5 + 7
Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + 2x = 5 + 7
2x = 5 + 7
Combine like terms: 5 + 7 = 12
2x = 12
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 6
Simplifying
x = 6
