It is 5......2x-(x-7)=12 proof: 2*5-(5-7)=12
2x-x+7=12 10-(-2)=12
x=12-7 10+2=12
x=5 12=12

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> -2x^2 + 5x + 2 = -3

Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                              x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
                              x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
