Question

I think it subtract 5 but I don't know for sure

Answer 1

subtract 7

Explanation:

You want to move 7 to the other side so that 5x would be alone. Subtracting 7 on both sides will make 5x stand alone. After subtracting 7 on both sides, you get 5x=5. Now you can solve for x

Answer 2

Subtract both sides by 7

Explanation:

We have to make sure that we isolate the x term first. So we must subtract 7 from both sides.
