Question 412130: I cannot find the answer to this equation: 2x+5=7x-100. I do not know what I am doing wrong but I have tried to find the answer for x many times and it is just not working out. Can you show me step by step how to solve this equation? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the answer to this equation:
2x+5=7x-100.
-----
Add 100 to both sides:
2x+105 = 7x
---
Subtract 2x from both sides:
105 = 5x
---
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 21
