What is x? 5x - 7 + 3x - 10 = - 2x - 5 + 7x - 13

Answer: x = - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7 + 3x - 10 = - 2x - 5 + 7x - 13 add all like terms

8x-17=5x-18 put all variables on the left and the others on the right and symplify

3x = - 1 divide

3x/3 and - 1/3 equals x = - 1/3

x = - 13/7 = - 1.857
