Answer:

x=11

Explanation:

First, do the parentheses (PEMDAS).

7(x-4)=4x+5 to 7x-28=4x+5

Then, add 28 to either side to get all the numbers on one side.

7x-28=4x+5 to 7x=4x+33

After that, subtract 4x to get all the x's on one side.

7x=4x+33 to 3x=33

Finally, divide by 3 to get your final answer.

3x=33 to x=11

(hope this helps :P)

Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

In this question, you would solve for x.

Solve for x:

7(x - 4) = 4x + 5

Use the distributive property.

7x - 28 = 4x + 5

Subtract both sides by 4x.

3x - 28 = 5

Add 28 to both sides.

3x = 33

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 11

Your final answer would be x = 11
