Solve the linear equation for \(x\):
\(3x-7=2x+5\)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 12
An equation is like a balance: the same change made to both sides keeps it true. Here \(x\) appears on both sides, so the aim is to get \(x\) alone on one side. Subtracting \(2x\) from both sides and adding 7 to both sides does this.
After these two changes: \(3x-2x=5+7\)
The value of \(x\): \(x=12\)
