The answer is 2 and negative 9
In this equation x = 49.
In order to find this, follow the order of operation of solving equations.
1/7x - 5 = 2 -----> Add 5 to both sides
1/7x = 7 ----> Multiply both sides by 7
x = 49
Answer:
infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses and collect terms:
3x -12 +5 -x = 2x -7
2x -7 = 2x -7
This is true for any value of x. There are an infinite number of solutions.
