Question

7x=5+5x

Answer 1

7x=5x+5
2x=5
x=2.5

Answer 2

7x=5+5x

subtract 5x from both sides

2x=5

divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself

x = 2.5

Answer 3

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

2x=5
divide on both sides

x=(5/2); x=2.5

Answer 4

Simplifying
7x = 5 + 5x

Solving
7x = 5 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
2x = 5 + 0
2x = 5

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 2.5

Simplifying
x = 2.5
