Ineed with solving the equation

2x - 5 = x - 7

and i need the steps to solve the problem

2x - 5 = x - 7

First, let's subtract x from both sides:

2x - x - 5 = x - x - 7

x - 5 = -7

Now, let's add 5 to both sides:

x - 5 + 5 = -7 + 5

x = -2

13

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
