    You can combine like terms: (3x and - 7x)

    -4x+15=-7

    now, we subtract 15 from both sides:

    -4x=-22

    finally, we divide both sides by - 4

    x=5.5 or 5 1/2

    3x+15-7x=-7

    Simplify:

    3x+15-7x=-7

    3x+15+-7x=-7

    (3x+-7x) + (15) = - 7 (Combine Like Terms)

    -4x+15=-7

    Subtract 15 from both sides.

    -4x+15-15=-7-15

    -4x=-22

    Divide both sides by - 4.

    -4x/-4=-22/-4

    x=11/2
