Question
$$2x+3 = 5x-7$$
Answer
$$ x = \dfrac{10}{3} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x+3 &= 5x-7&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 5x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 3 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]2x-5x &= -7-3&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]-3x &= -10&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -3 $ } \\[1 em]x &= \frac{-10}{-3}&& \\[1 em]x &= \frac{10}{3}&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
