Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{22}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{7+x}{3}[/tex] = 2x - 5 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
7 + x = 3(2x - 5) ← distribute
7 + x = 6x - 15 ( subtract x from both sides )
7 = 5x - 15 ( add 15 to both sides )
22 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )
[tex]\frac{22}{5}[/tex] = x ( x = 4.4 )
