Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     7*x-3*(x+2)-(x+5)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (7x -  3 • (x + 2)) -  (x + 5)  = 0 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  3x - 11  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    3x-11 = 0 

 Add  11  to both sides of the equation : 
                      3x = 11
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
                     x = 11/3 = 3.667
