Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Reorder the terms:
2 (-4 + 3x) + - 5 = - 7
(-4 * 2 + 3x * 2) + - 5 = - 7
(-8 + 6x) + - 5 = - 7
2) Reorder the terms:
-8 + - 5 + 6x = - 7
3) Combine like terms: - 8 + - 5 = - 13
-13 + 6x = - 7
4) Solving
-13 + 6x = - 7
5) Solving for variable 'x'.
6) Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
7) Add '13' to each side of the equation.
-13 + 13 + 6x = - 7 + 13
8) Combine like terms: - 13 + 13 = 0
0 + 6x = - 7 + 13
6x = - 7 + 13
9) Combine like terms: - 7 + 13 = 6
6x = 6
10) Divide each side by '6'.
x = 1
11) Simplifying
x = 1
