Answer:
the answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The negative symbols make it tricky. Just remember, 2 negatives = a positive.
so x- -5 = 7
Sense 2 negatives equals positive, that means we are adding 5, not subtracting negative 5.
so our new problem is x + 5 = 7
If we run the problem backwards now, (7-5=x) then we get 2
