2x+10.5-1.5x=7
Use the distributive property to multiply 1.5 by 7-x.
0.5x+10.5=7
Combine 2x and -1.5x to get 0.5x.
0.5x=7-10.5
Subtract 10.5 from both sides.
0.5x=-3.5
Subtract 10.5 from 7 to get -3.5.
x=\frac{-3.5}{0.5}
Divide both sides by 0.5.
x=\frac{-35}{5}
Expand \frac{-3.5}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=-7
Divide -35 by 5 to get -7.
