Question

x/5=2x-7 solve this equation ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question:

$\huge\red{ \frac{x}{5} }\pink{ = 2x - 7}$

Your answer:

$\huge\orange{x}\green{ = 5(2x - 7)}$

[ transporting 5 to RHS and it will divide the whole expression ]

$x = 10x - 35$

[ distributive property ]

$x - 10x = - 35$

[ subtracting x and 10x ]

$- 9x = - 35$

[ taking 9 to RHS ]

$x = \frac{ - 35}{ - 9}$

[ cancelling negative sign ]

$x = \frac{35}{9}$
