(X/5) + 2 = 12 - 7
Combine likes
(x/5) + 2 = 5
Subtract 2 from both sides
(X/5) = 3
Multiply by 5 on both sides
X = 15

x/5 + 2= 12 - 7
(I assume the first half means (x/5) + 2 and not x/(5 + 2) )
subtract 2 from both sides and consolidate
x/5==3
multiply both sides by 5
x=15
If my assumption is wrong, the answer is :
x= 35

Option #1:
x/7=5
Multiply both sides by 35:
5x=175
Divide both sides by 5:
x=35
Check:
35/7=5
5=5
Option #2:
x/5+2=5
x/5=3
5(x/5)=5(3)
x=15
Check:
15/5+2=5
3+2=5
5=5
I hope this helps!

x/5+2=12-7
5
-2 -2
x/5 = 3
x/5(5) = 3(5)
x= 15
I multiplied it by five beacause you have to do the invesrse operation of dividing x/5 which is multiply by 5

What math level is this in? Same problems in different math levels are solved differently and a different answer appears.
