Question says "simplify each of the following equations and solve for the variable"

Hello there! :)

Yes, at first glance this problem is odd.

3x-7+9-2x = x +2

3x + 2 - 2x = x + 2

3x - 2x - x = 2-2

0 = 0

I'd assume that 0=0 is the answer but I would double check with your instructor because I remember running into these kinds of problems, but I can't remember that you had to do with them. Sorry if I didn't help much.

Hope this helped a little! :)
