Answer 2

solve for \(x\) :
\[7x-8=5x-2\] takes exactly three steps

Answer 3

Okay

Answer 4

let me know when you get \(x=3\)

Answer 5

okya so do i subtract 5 from both sides

Answer 6

no, you subtract \(5x\) from both sides

Answer 7

then add 8 to both sides
finally divide both sides by 2

Answer 8

okay so like this
