-2 =5 - 7x how do you do this

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 = 5 - 7x

-5    -5

-2-5 = -7x

2+5 = 7x

7/7 = x

x = 1

I wrote a longer explanation if you need more help :)

1. We need to find the value of x.

In order to do that, you should have all the variables on one side and the constants(numbers) on the other side of the equal sign.

To do that, we need to subtract and add the values so that they're all on the correct side.

You can add -5 to both sides so that the left side has only -7x and right side only integers

-2-5 = -7x

2. Next, we can use the add/subtract method to make all the values positive Here is what it will look like 2+5 = 7x.

3. Now, we can add 2 and 5, we will get 7 so our equation looks like this:

7 = 7x

4. Now, we need to divide to get the value of x. x is equal to 7/7 and that is one, so x = 1.

I hope my solution was helpful! Enjoy :)

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
