How to solve 1+4.x=-5+7.x

Answer 1

Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Regroup terms.

1+4x=7x-5

2. Subtract 4x from both sides.

1=7x-5-

3. Simplify  7x-5-4x  to  3x-5.

1=3x-5

4. Add 5 to both sides.

1+5=3x1+5=3x

5. Simplify  1+5  to  6.

6=3x

6. Divide both sides by 3.

​3/​6=x

7 Simplify 3​/6 to  22.

2=x

8 Switch sides.

x=2

Answer 2

1+4.x= -5+7.x
you take the 1 and -5 add them
= -4
then you have the 4.x and the 7.x
the x’s leave them subtract 4 from 7
it’s 3x now
so now you have -4=3x
divide and you will have what x equals
