Answer:
3
Explanation:
In this problem we need to kind of write the picture into an equation so the first thing we see are 4 xs on the far left-hand side this is representing "4x" then we see 5 - blocks on the right which represents "-5" because we have 5 minuses then on the other side we see 7 + blocks which represent just "7". After we identify everything in the picture we can write an equation so 4x -5 = 7. Then we solve so we need to separate x on one side and all the other numbers to the other to do that we can move the -5 to the side the 7 is on and because of math when we move a number to another side of the equation we have to switch the sign it has so if it was -5 then on the other side it would be 5 then we add 7 to 5 which would equal 12. Then we are left with 4x = 12 and to keep x on its own side we need to divide 4 from the other side because it is multiplying on the x side and again we need to switch the sign. then we are left with x=3. Hope this helps!
