See below.

Explanation:

The first step that we want to do is add 5 to both sides of the equation, as we want to combine the numbers:

2x5=77

2x=82

Now, we can divide by 2 on both sides in order to eliminate the coefficient in front of x (the number in front of x, which is 2):

2x=82

x=41

This is our solution, x=41!

I hope that helps!
