First simplify
-2x - 2 = -27 + 5x
Then add 27 to both sides
-2x - 2 = -27 + 5x
+27. +27
-2x + 25 = 5x
Now add 2x to both sides
-2x + 25 = 5x
+2x. +2x
25 = 7x
Last, divide 7 from both sides
25/7. = 7x/7
X = 25/7 or 3 4/7
-2x - 2 = -27 + 5x
Then add 27 to both sides
-2x - 2 = -27 + 5x
+27. +27
-2x + 25 = 5x
Now add 2x to both sides
-2x + 25 = 5x
+2x. +2x
25 = 7x
Last, divide 7 from both sides
25/7. = 7x/7
X = 25/7 or 3 4/7
X=25/7 or x= 3 4/7
Steps:
1:simplify on both sides
2:subtract 5x from both sides
3:add 2 to both sides
4:divide both sides by -7
