what is the steps to this2x+y=3x-7

Simplifying

2x + y = 3x + - 7

Reorder the terms:

2x + y = - 7 + 3x

Solving

2x + y = - 7 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

2x + - 3x + y = - 7 + 3x + - 3x

Combine like terms: 2x + - 3x = - 1x

-1x + y = - 7 + 3x + - 3x

Combine like terms: 3x + - 3x = 0

-1x + y = - 7 + 0

-1x + y = - 7

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

-1x + y + - 1y = - 7 + - 1y

Combine like terms: y + - 1y = 0

-1x + 0 = - 7 + - 1y

-1x = - 7 + - 1y

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 7 + y

Simplifying

x = 7 + y
