Question 183290


{{{15-2x=5-7x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2x=5-7x-15}}} Subtract {{{15}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x+7x=5-15}}} Add {{{7x}}} to both sides.



{{{5x=5-15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-10)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=-2}}}
