Can you get a better shot of the problem?
Expand
5x - 5 + 3 = 7x + 7
Simplify 5x - 5 + 3 to 5x - 2
5x - 2 = 7x + 7
Subtract 5x from both sides
-2 = 7x + 7 - 5x
Simplify 7x + 7 - 5x to 2x + 7
-2 = 2x + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides
-2 - 7 = 2x
Simplify -2 - 7 to -9
-9 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
-9/2 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -9/2</u>
