Move everybody to one side
minus 5x+2 both sides
x^2-5x-2=0
use quadratic formula where
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

1x^2-5x-2=0
a=1
b=-5
c=-2
x=

x=5.372281323 or -0.3722813233
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = -x + 7
Add x to each side
x+x + 3 = -x+x + 7
2x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
2x = 7-3
2x = 4
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
