Can you solve that? :)

5x from both sides right?

Answer 5

3x-7-5x = 5x+9-5x?

Answer 6

Right. What does that give you?:)

Answer 7

2x-7=9

Answer 8

The 2x should be negative :) ... 3x - 5x = -2x

Answer 9

ooh ok. so now i divide right

Answer 10

i mean subtract 7 lol

Answer 11

Add 7 ;D

Answer 12

k why add?

Answer 13

i got 5=9 now

Answer 14

When you add 7 to both sides you should get this...
-2x - 7 = 9
-2x - 7 + 7 = 9 + 7
-2x = 16
Now we divide both sides by -2 to find x :) Get it?
