The steps for solving the equation 2x-3=7 are listed below

2x-3=7

2x=10

x=5

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we need to find out what the variable, x, is equal to. In order to do this, we need to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind that everything must be done to both sides.

2x-3=7

3 is being subtracted from 2x. The opposite of subtraction is addition. Add 3 to both sides

2x-3+3=7+3

2x=7+3

2x=10

x is being multiplied by 2. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=10/2

x=10/2

x=5
