2x-3=7

 

Add 3 to each side.

 

2x=10

 

Divide by 2 on each side.

 

x=5

 

 

 

3x+5-x=x-3

 

First, add x on each side.

 

3x+5=2x-3

 

Now, subtract 2x from each side.

 

x+5=-3

 

Finally, subtract 5 from each side.

 

x=-8

 

 

 

5x-(x+1)=6-2x

 

First, solve 5x-(x+1)

 

4x-1=6-2x

 

Then, add 2 x on each side.

 

6x-1=6

 

Then, add 1 to each side.

 

6x=7

 

Finally, divide by 6 on each side.

 

x=1 1/6

 

 

 

0.5x-5=x+4

 

Subtract 0.5x from each side.

 

-5=0.5x+4

 

Next, subtract 4 from each side.

 

-9=0.5x

 

Finally, multiply by 2 on each side.

 

x=-18
