    Solving for x

    5x - 8 = 2x + 7

    subtract 2x from both sides

    5x - 2x - 8 = 2x - 2x + 7

    3x - 8 = 7

    add 8 to both sides

    3x - 8 + 8 = 7 + 8

    3x = 15

    divide both sides by 3

    3x/3 = 15/3

    x = 5

    Check answer by replacing x with 5 in the orginal equation

    5x - 8 = 2x + 7

    5 (5) - 8 = 2 (5) + 7

    25 - 8 = 10 + 7

    17 = 17
