Explanation:
"collect terms in x on the left side of the equation"
"and numeric values on the right side"
"subtract "7x" from both sides"
2x-7x=cancel(7x)cancel(-7x)+10
rArr-5x=10
"divide both sides by "-5
(cancel(-5) x)/cancel(-5)=10/(-5)
rArrx=-2
color(blue)"As a check" Substitute this value into the equation and if both sides are equal then it is the solution.
"left "=2xx-2=-4
"right "=(7xx-2)+10=-14+10=-4
rArrx=-2" is the solution"
