Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.7x−2x=2x−35−2x5x=−35   Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.‌5x5‌=‌−355‌x=−7 Answer: x = −7

Exvited

7x = 2x - 35

First, subtract 2x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: \(7x - 2x = -35\)
Second, subtract 7x - 2x to get 5x. / Your problem should look like: \(5x = -35\)
Third, divide both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: \(x = - \frac{35}{5}\)
Fourth, simplify \(\frac{35}{5}\) to 7. / Your problem should look like: \(x = -7\)

Answer: x = -7 (D)
