Solve show all work - 2 * + 5=4 * - 7

To solve for the equation - 2x+5=4x-7, you first have to isolate the variable X on one side and bring the rest to the other side

-2x+5=4x-7

Add 2x on both sides

5=6x-7

Isolate X by adding 7 on both sides

12=6x

Solve for X by dividing by 6 on both sides

x=12/6

x=2
