Answer:

X=1

Explanation:

First lets combine like terms.

3=7x-4 (2x and 5x can be combined.)

Next, isolate your X variable.

7=7x (when you move a variable to the other side of the equation it gains the opposite sign Ex:-4 would become 4 and 4 would become -4)

Finally, find out what you need to multiply with x to get 7.

You need to multiply 1 with 7 to get 7.

The answer is x=1
