Question

What is the value of x in the equation 5 - 3x = -7 ?

Answer 1

4 = x
5-3x=-7
Add 7 to both sides
12-3x
Divide both sides by 3
12/3 & 3x/3
4 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5 - 3x = - 7 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 3x = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 4
