Math Problem Statement

x=2x-7/2

Solution

Let's solve the equation x=2x72x = 2x - \frac{7}{2}.

Step 1: Move all terms involving xx to one side.

Subtract 2x2x from both sides: x2x=72x - 2x = -\frac{7}{2}

This simplifies to: x=72-x = -\frac{7}{2}

Step 2: Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for xx:

x=72x = \frac{7}{2}

Thus, the solution is: x=72x = \frac{7}{2}
