Solve for x
x=3
Evaluate
2x−(7−x)=2
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
2x−(7−x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
2x−7+x
Add the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
2x+x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2+1)x
Add the numbers
3x
3x−7
3x−7=2
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
