Question 861189
{{{x+5=2x+7}}} Start with the given equation.



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



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



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



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



{{{x=(2)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



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