-7 + 6x = -5 + 0

-7 + 6x = -5

Add '7' to each side of the equation.

-7 + 7 + 6x = -5 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0

0 + 6x = -5 + 7

6x = -5 + 7

Combine like terms: -5 + 7 = 2

6x = 2

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 0.3333333333

Simplifying

x = 0.3333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve

4x + 7 = 2x + 5

Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x + 7 −2x = 2x + 5 −2x

2x + 7 = 5

Subtract 7 from both sides.

2x + 7 − 7 = 5 −7

2x = −2

Divide both sides by 2.

2x / 2 = −2 / 2

x = −1
