Answer:

x = -5

Explanation:

  1. Simplify: 2x + 8 - 5 = -7
  2. Subtract 8 from each side, so it now looks like this: 2x - 5 = -15
  3. Add 5 to each side, so it now looks like this: 2x = -10
  4. Divide each side by 2, to cancel out the 2 next to x. It should now look like this: x = -5

I hope this helps!
