SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
[tex]7x\text{ + 5 - 2 x = 2 x- 7}[/tex]Step 2:
The details of the solution are as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\text{ x - 5 - 2 x = 2 x - 7} \\ 5x\text{ - 5 = 2x - 7} \\ collecting\text{ like terms, we have that:} \\ 5\text{ x - 2x = - 7 - 5} \\ 3\text{ x = - 12} \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 3, we have that:} \\ x\text{ =}\frac{-12}{3} \\ x\text{ = - 4 \lparen OPTION C \rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]CONCLUSION:
The final answer is:
[tex]x\text{ = - 4 \lparen OPTION C\rparen}[/tex]
