Five added to 2 times a number is equal to 7 less than 4 times a number. what is the number?

2x+5=4x-7 that's the equation.

The number is 6, I believe. The way to do that is...

You have to put 2x on the other side

then add 7 to both sides

then divide both sides by 2

here is the worked out thing ↓↓↓

2x+5=4x-7

-2x     -2x

5=2x-7

+7    +7

12=2x

/2  /2

6=x
