Question

5x + 3 = 4x - 7
What is the correct answer

Answer 1

5x+3=4x-7

Move 3 to the other side

Sign changes from +3 to -3

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

5x= 4x-10

Move +4x to the other side

Sign changes from +4x to -4x

5x-4x= -10

1x= -10

Divide by 1

1/1x= -10/1

x= -10

Answer : x= -10

Answer 2

x = - 10

Explanation:

Given

5x + 3 = 4x - 7 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x + 3 = - 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 10
