Question

-4+5x-7=10+3x-2x. Solve for x

Answer 1

Answer: 5=x

Explanation:

-4+5x-7=10+3x-2x

Combine like terms:

-10+5x=10+x

Subtract 10 on both sides:

-10-10+5x=10-10+x

-20+5x=x

Subtract 5x on both sides:

-20+5x-5x=x-5x

-20=-4x

Divide -4 on both sides:

-20/-4=-4x/-4

5=x

Answer 2

-4 + 5x - 7 = 10 + 3x - 2x

5x - 3x + 2x = 10 + 4 + 7

4x = 21

x = 21/4

x = 5 1/4 or 5.25
