Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x−7+2−2x=−26

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−7+2−2x=−26

5x+−7+2+−2x=−26

(5x+−2x)+(−7+2)=−26(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−5=−26

3x−5=−26

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

3x−5+5=−26+5

3x=−21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

Answer:

the solution is x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms:

x(5 -2) +(-7 +2) = -26

3x -5 = -26

Add 5 to get the variable term by itself:

3x = -21

Divide by the coefficient of the variable:

x = -7

____

The answer to, "what is it?" is that it is a linear equation in x. After you collect terms, it is what is referred to as a "two-step" linear equation, because it takes two steps to solve it: add 5, divide by 3.
