Answer:

x = 0.

Explanation:

2x + 3 + 4 = 7 + 5x

We need to bring all the x terms to one side ( left) and all the numbers to the right side.

First simplify the left side:

2x + 7 = 7 + 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x - 5x + 7 = 7 + 5x - 5x

-3x + 7 = 7

Subtract 7 from both sides:

-3x + 7 - 7 = 7 - 7

-3x = 0

x = 0/-3 = 0.

Answer:

0

Explanation:

2x+3+4 side

add similar variables (3 + 4=7)

then you get 2x+7 = 7+5x

move 2x to opposite side to issolate x variable

subtract 2x by 5x = 3x

then you get 7=7+3x

then move 7 to opposite side to isolate

then you get 0=3x

you then divide 3x by 0

anything divided by 0 is 0 making the final answer

0
