-2x/7 + 3/7 = 5
-2x/7 + 3/7 - 3/7 = 5 - 3/7
-2x = (32/7) x 7
-2x = 32
x = -16

Multiply both sides by 7 to get
-2x + 3 = 35
-2x = 32
x = -16.

Multiply each term of this by 7 to clear out the fractions..
You will get
-2x + 3 = 35
-2x = 32
x = -16

-2x/7 + 3/7 = 5
multiply each term by 7 to get rid of the fractions:
-2x + 3 = 35
subtract 3 from both sides:
-2x = 32
divide each side by -2:
x = -16

That can be rewritten as: -2x + 3 = 35 or - 2x = 32 and x = - 16

- 2x + 3 = 35
3 = 35 + 2x
2x = - 32
x = - 16

i'm assuming which you recommend (one million/2)x-(7/3)=(-7/5) multiply via 2 x - (14/3) = (-14/5) x = (14/3) - (14/5) on the astonishing hand side, multiply the 1st term via (5/5) and the 2d term via (3/3) x = (70/15) - ( 40 two/15) = (28/15)
