2x-3%2B5x=7%2B4x%2B2 Start with the given equation



7x-3=7%2B4x%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side


7x-3=4x%2B9 Combine like terms on the right side


7x=4x%2B9%2B3Add 3 to both sides


7x-4x=9%2B3 Subtract 4x from both sides


3x=9%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side


3x=12 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2812%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x



x=4 Divide
