Explanation:

→Subtract 7 from both sides:

Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

-3x+7=-8

Bring 7 to the other side, it becomes negative

-3x=-8-7

Signs are same on rhs so u add

-3x = -8+-7= -15

Bring -3 to the other side n divide

therefore,

x=-15/-3

= +5 (two negatives become positive)

Hope it helps!
