Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{75}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have this:
[tex]2x - \frac{7}{8} + x = 2x + \frac{7}{2} + 5[/tex]
First, let's combine like terms:
[tex]3x - \frac{7}{8} = 2x + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{10}{2} \\3x - \frac{7}{8} = 2x + \frac{17}{2}[/tex]
Next, let's move variables and numbers each onto their own sides to get our answer:
[tex]3x - \frac{7}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = 2x + \frac{17}{2} + \frac{7}{8}\\ 3x = 2x + \frac{75}{8} \\3x - 2x = 2x + \frac{75}{8} - 2x\\\ x = \frac{75}{8}[/tex]
