Subtract x from both sides:
(3x - x) + 7 = (x - x) - 1

3x - x = 2x:
2x + 7 = (x - x) - 1

x - x = 0:
2x + 7 = -1

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x + (7 - 7) = -7 - 1

7 - 7 = 0:
2x = -7 - 1

-7 - 1 = -8:
2x = -8

Divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 = -8 / 2

2 / 2 = 1:
x = -8 / 2

The gcd (greatest common denominator) of 8 and 2 is 2:
-8 / 2 = 2(-4) / 2x1 = 2/2 x - 4 = -4

x = -4

sergeinik [125]
\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$3500\\
r=rate\to 5.6\%\to \frac{5.6}{100}\to &0.056\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{weekly, thus fifty two}
\end{array}\to &52\\
t=years\to &3
\end{cases}

\bf A=3500\left(1+\frac{0.056}{52}\right)^{52\cdot 3}\implies A=3500\left( \frac{6507}{6500} \right)^{156}

A\approx 4139.9038869337
