3rd step

Solution:-

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x+8-3x=7[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x-3x+8=7[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -5x+8=7[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -5x=7-8[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -5x=-1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-1}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
