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

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5 = x - 7

2x - x - 5 = -7

2x - x = -7 + 5

Now we have isolated x

2x - x = 5 - 7

2x - x = -2

x = -2
