Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression:

-4x - 7 - 3x + 4 = 25

To solve this expression, the first thing you do is to collect like terms. We'll bring x together as well as constant on the left side of the equation.

-4x - 3x - 7 + 4 = 25

Then we would take the constants on the left to the right side of the equation. Note that when you move a number to the other side of the equation, the sign changes.

-4x - 3x = 25 + 7 - 4

Then we solve

-7x = 28

divide both sides by -7


\begin{gathered} (-7x)/(-7)=\text{ }(28)/(-7) \\ x\text{ = -4} \end{gathered}

The final answer : x= -4
