Solve for x to four decimal places : (x-5) = 2

The answer is 7, because

Answer: x = 7.0000

Explanation:

Given a linear equation,

x - 5 = 2

In order to solve for x, we need to isolate the x

To isolate the x, we will get rid of x from left side.

5 is subtracted from x, so we will do opposite operation of subtraction.

Add 5 both the side.

x - 5 + 5 = 2 + 5

x + 0 = 7

x = 7

Write the answer in four decimal places.

So,

x = 7.0000
