Any ideas on what we should do with the given info? :)

OpenStudy (gudetamas):

3x+5 = 10x - 7 ?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good now just solve for x

OpenStudy (gudetamas):

7x = -12

pooja195 (pooja195):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (gudetamas):

i subtracted 3 by 10 and got 7, and subtracted 5 by -7 and got -12

pooja195 (pooja195):

Subtract 7x from both sides. 5x−12−7x=7x−61−7x What do you get?

pooja195 (pooja195):
