Answer:

d) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3 = 7x – 1

now collect like terms

3 + 1 = 7x – 5x

every time you move something it changes signs

4 = 2x anything multiplied is divided on the other side and vice versa

4/2 = x

2 = x

corm

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5x + 3 = 7x - 1[/tex]

First, let's move everything with an [tex]x[/tex] to the left-hand side of the equation, and everything else to the right-hand side:

[tex]5x - 7x = -1 - 3[/tex]

[tex]-2x = -4[/tex]

Now, let's divide both sides by [tex]-2[/tex] to isolate the [tex]x[/tex] on the left-hand side of the equation:

[tex]\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{-4}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 2[/tex]
