Solving for x
5x - 8 = 2x + 7
subtract 2x from both sides
5x - 2x - 8 = 2x - 2x + 7
3x - 8 = 7
add 8 to both sides
3x - 8 + 8 = 7 + 8
3x = 15


divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 15/3
x = 5
Check answer by replacing x with 5 in the orginal equation
5x - 8 = 2x + 7
5(5) - 8 = 2(5) + 7
25 - 8 = 10 + 7

If D-M-G, DM=2x , MG= x-2 , and DG= 7 , find x
Dmitrij [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

DG is the total measurement of the line. M is a point inbetween D & G

2x + x - 2 = 7

Simplify. Combine likke terms

(2x + x) - 2 = 7

3x - 2 = 7

Isolate the x. First, add 2 to both sides

3x - 2 (+2) = 7 (+2)

3x = 9

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (9)/3

x = 9/3

x = 3
