Answer 2

Answer:

$Value \: of \: x = \frac{28}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \: linear \: equation \: in \: one \\variable \:x \:is \: 5x-7=2x+21$

/* Add both sides of the equation by 7 ,we get

$\implies 5x - 7 + 7 = 2x + 21 + 7$

$\implies 5x = 2x + 28$

/* Subtract both sides of the equation by 2x , we get

$\implies 5x - 2x = 2x + 28 - 2x$

$\implies 3x = 28$

/* Divide each term by 3, we get

$\implies \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{28}{3}$

$\implies x = \frac{28}{3}$

Therefore.,

$Value \: of \: x = \frac{28}{3}$
