1 a) so you’re solving multi-step equations so you should add 3x and 4x together to make 7x and then you can minus the 5 on the left side so then you have to subtract 5 from the other side as well so then it’d be 7x=14 and then you dive 7/7 and that leaves you with one or just x and then you have to divide 14 by 7 because you did that with the left side so now you’re finished and the answer is x=2
