Question 145106
"7 is subtracted from twice a number, the result is 5" translates to {{{2x-7=5}}}




{{{2x-7=5}}} Start with the given equation




{{{2x=5+7}}}Add 7 to both sides



{{{2x=12}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(12)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x




{{{x=6}}} Divide
