Question

HOW THE HELL DO I ANSWER THIS?!?!?!?!
2x-7+3x=4x+2

Answer 1

well lets look at this. Simplifying
2x + 7 + 3x = 4x + -2

Reorder the terms:
7 + 2x + 3x = 4x + -2

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x
7 + 5x = 4x + -2

Reorder the terms:
7 + 5x = -2 + 4x

Solving
7 + 5x = -2 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
7 + 5x + -4x = -2 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 5x + -4x = 1x
7 + 1x = -2 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
7 + 1x = -2 + 0
7 + 1x = -2

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + 1x = -2 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + 1x = -2 + -7
1x = -2 + -7

Combine like terms: -2 + -7 = -9
1x = -9

Divide each side by '1'.
x = -9

Simplifying
x = -9

Answer 2

you could find these solutions with many steps. you should always aim to get x by itself. okay? hope this helps
