The solution

You have entered [src]
-5 + 2*x = -2*x - 7
$$2 x - 5 = - 2 x - 7$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5+2*x = -2*x-7

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = - 2 x - 2$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$4 x = -2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = -2 / (4)

We get the answer: x = -1/2
