7x +12 = 5x + 2 first deliver the like words to the comparable factor 7x - 5x = 2 - 12 whilst numbers replace factors, their sign (constructive or detrimental) modifications 2x = -10 then isolate x by using bringing the two over. x = -10/2 resolve. x= -5 =) desire i helped.

Your answer is x=6
7x-2=5x+10
-5x -5x
2x-2=10
+2 +2
2x=12
12/2=6
x=6
7x - 2 = 5x + 10
7x - 5x = 10 + 2
2x = 12
x = 6
Hello Robert,
Steps for solving 7x -2 = 5x + 10
(Always do the same function to BOTH sides of the equation.)
Step 1) Add +2 to both sides.....7x = 5x + 12......
Step 2) Subtract 5x from both sides........2x = 12
Step 3) Divide both sides by 2........x = 6
transpose all with variables in one side.
7x- 5x = 10+2
simply subtract and add
2x = 12
divide both sides by two
x = 6
