Answer:
Simplifying
7 + 2x = 4x + -3
Reorder the terms:
7 + 2x = -3 + 4x
Solving
7 + 2x = -3 + 4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
7 + 2x + -4x = -3 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x
7 + -2x = -3 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
7 + -2x = -3 + 0
7 + -2x = -3
Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + -2x = -3 + -7
Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + -2x = -3 + -7
-2x = -3 + -7
Combine like terms: -3 + -7 = -10
-2x = -10
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 5
Simplifying
x = 5
