Math Problem Statement

2x-3=x+7

Solution

Let's solve the equation 2x3=x+72x - 3 = x + 7.

Step 1: Move all terms involving xx to one side of the equation

Subtract xx from both sides: 2xx3=72x - x - 3 = 7 This simplifies to: x3=7x - 3 = 7

Step 2: Move the constant to the other side

Add 3 to both sides: x=7+3x = 7 + 3 Simplifying further: x=10x = 10

Final answer:

The solution is x=10x = 10.

  2. How would the solution change if the equation were 2x3=x+102x - 3 = x + 10?
  3. Can you solve for xx if the equation is 3x5=2x+63x - 5 = 2x + 6?
  4. What happens if the equation includes fractions, like 2x33=x+7\frac{2x}{3} - 3 = x + 7?
  5. How can you solve quadratic equations like x2+2x3=0x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0?

Tip: Always aim to isolate the variable by performing inverse operations step-by-step.
