Solve 7(x-2)=5(x+3)

Evaluate

7 (x - 2) = 5 (x + 3)

Calculate

More Steps

7 x - 14 = 5 (x + 3)

Calculate

More Steps

7 x - 14 = 5 x + 15

Move the expression to the left side

7 x - 14 - (5 x + 15) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

2 x - 29 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2 x = 0 + 29

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

2 x = 29

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{29}{2}

Solution

x = \frac{29}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 14.5

7(x 2)=5(x+3)
