Answer:


\boxed{x = -4}

Explanation:

This drawing illustrates the

equation: -3x – 7 = 5.

Since:

(-x + -x + -x) + (-1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1) =

(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) → (-3x) + (-7) = (5) →

-3x – 7 = 5.

To reduce the equation and find x:

[add 7 to both sides to isolate the constant term on the right side]

-3x – 7 + 7 = 5 + 7 →

-3x = 12 →

[divide both sides by -3 to cancel out the coefficient of -3 in -3x to get x]

-3x / -3 = 12 / -3 →

x = -4

You are so smart. 5 - (-7) = 5+7 which = 12. 12/3 is 4.
