Question

Please help me 2x-7/8+x=2x+7/2+5

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{75}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have this:

$2x - \frac{7}{8} + x = 2x + \frac{7}{2} + 5$

First, let's combine like terms:

$3x - \frac{7}{8} = 2x + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{10}{2} \\3x - \frac{7}{8} = 2x + \frac{17}{2}$

Next, let's move variables and numbers each onto their own sides to get our answer:

$3x - \frac{7}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = 2x + \frac{17}{2} + \frac{7}{8}\\ 3x = 2x + \frac{75}{8} \\3x - 2x = 2x + \frac{75}{8} - 2x\\\ x = \frac{75}{8}$
