Step 1 Consider the given linear equation, 3(x−2)+7=2(x+5) here the objective is to find the solution of the given linear equation, expand the parenthesis, 3x-6+7=2x+10 3x+1=2x+10 Step 2 now, arrange the similar terms on one side of the equation and solve for x, 3x-2x=10-1 x=9 hence the solution of the given linear equation is x=9.
