We will use the distributive property, where $a(b+c) = ab+ac$ and $a(b-c) = ab-ac$ .

$7(x+7)-3(x+3)$

$=7x+49-(3x+9)$

$=4x+40$

Therefore, the simplified expression is 4x+40.

I assume we are solving for x?

You need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
subtract 4x from both sides. This leaves -2x+3=-3. Because we need to isolate x we subtract 3 from both sides, leaving -2x=-6. Again we isolate x, divide both sides by -2. x=3

2x+3=4x-3
-2x+3= -3
-2x= -6
x=3
