distribute

2x-10+7=3x-9

combine like terms

2x-3=3x-9

remove the variable completely from one side

-3=x-9

make sure the variable is alone

6=x

x=6 is the answer

6

x=6

x=6

2x - 10 + 7 = 3x - 9

2x - 3 = 3x - 9

2x - 2x - 3 + 9 = 3x - 2x - 9 + 9

6 = x.

2x-10+7=3x-9

2x-3x=-9+10-7

-x=-6

x=6

Let me solve it step by step

Expand

2(x-5)=2x-10

2x-10+7=3x-9

2x-3=3x-9

Then,

-3=x-9

x=6

I think this is correct but I think you should double check my method.

2(x-5)+7=3x-9

2x-10+7=3x-9

2x-3=3x-9

-3=x-9

6=x

x=-8
