3%28x-2%29%2B7=2%28x%2B5%29 Start with the given equation.


3x-6%2B7=2x%2B10 Distribute.


3x%2B1=2x%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x=2x%2B10-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


3x-2x=10-1 Subtract 2x from both sides.


x=10-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=9 Combine like terms on the right side.
