Question 555271
{{{-x+7=2x-5}}} Start with the given equation.



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



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



{{{-3x=-5-7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3x=-12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-12)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
