3  of anything positive is greater than  2  of the same thing.  
I can't think of an exception.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The answer is
Final result :
 x - 2
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
 1
 Simplify —
 3
Equation at the end of step 1 :
 2 1
 ((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
 3 3
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
 2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction 
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
 5 5 • 3
 5 = — = —————
 1 3 
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole 
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
 2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions 
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
 x + 5 • 3 x + 15
 ————————— = ——————
 3 3 
Equation at the end of step 2 :
 2 (x + 15)
 ((— • x) - 7) + ————————
 3 3 
Step 3 :
 2
 Simplify —
 3
Equation at the end of step 3 :
 2 (x + 15)
 ((— • x) - 7) + ————————
 3 3 
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
 4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction 
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
 7 7 • 3
 7 = — = —————
 1 3 
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
 4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions 
 2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21
 ———————————— = ———————
 3 3 
Equation at the end of step 4 :
 (2x - 21) (x + 15)
 ————————— + ————————
 3 3 
Step 5 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
 5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
 (2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
 ———————————————— = ——————
 3 3 
Step 6 :
Pulling out like terms :
 6.1 Pull out like factors :
 3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2) 
Final result :
 x - 2
100% Verified!
