Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2 = 5
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = 5+2
x = 7
Answer: x = +7
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since 2 is being subtracted from x, add 2 to both sides of the equation to get x by itself.
On the left side, -2 +2 will cancel out and
on the right side, 5 + 2 simplifies to +7.
So x = +7.
