Answer:

you can subtract 2x from both sides

Then subtract 5 from both sides.

x = 2 is what the equation gives you

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do one of two things.

1. You can subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

or

2. You can subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

Either one will give you the correct answer.

3x - 2x + 5 = 2x - 2x + 7    Combine the xs

1x + 5 = 7                             Subtract 5 from both sides.

x + 5-5 = 7-5

x = 2
