Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation 3x -7 = 2 + x, you can start by combining like terms.
First, you can move the term "x" to the left side by subtracting "x" from both sides of the equation:
3x - x - 7 = 2 + x - x
This simplifies to:
2x - 7 = 2
Next, you can move the constant term "-7" to the right side by adding 7 to both sides of the equation:
2x - 7 + 7 = 2 + 7
This simplifies to:
2x = 9
Finally, you can solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
(2x)/2 = 9/2
This simplifies to:
x = 9/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x - 7 = 2 + x is x = 9/2.
