The solution

You have entered [src]
5 - 2*x = 11 - 7*(x + 2)
52x=117(x+2)5 - 2 x = 11 - 7 \left(x + 2\right)
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5-2*x = 11-7*(x+2)

Expand brackets in the right part
5-2*x = 11-7*x-7*2

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
5 - 2*x = -3 - 7*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
2x=7x8- 2 x = - 7 x - 8
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
5x=85 x = -8
Divide both parts of the equation by 5
x = -8 / (5)

We get the answer: x = -8/5
