Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to isolate the variable on one side first so that the equation is easier to solve.  To do that, add x to both sides to get 2x + x, which is 3x.  This gets rid of the -x on the other side and results with the new equation

3x - 5 = 7.   Add 5 to both sides to get 3x = 12, then divide both sides by 3 to get x = 4.  

You can check your work by plugging in 4 for x.  

2(4) - 5 = -(4) + 7

8 - 5 = 3

3 = 3

Therefore, x is equal to 4.
