Answer:

X = 5

Remember, x has a hidden one behind it, so it would be 1x

3x - 2(x + 1) = 2x - 7

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+1.

3x−2x−2=2x−7

Combine 3x and −2x to get x

x−2=2x−7

Subtract 2x from both sides

x−2−2x=−7

Combine x and −2x to get −x

−x−2=−7

Add 2 to both sides

−x=−7+2

Add −7 and 2 to get −5

−x=−5

multiply both sides by -1

x=5
