Answer 1

Answer:

x=-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$7x+5=4x+3\\3x+5=3\\3x=-2\\x=\frac{-2}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 5 = (4x + 3)

remove parentheses, they aren't needed here:

7x + 5 = 4x + 3

group them (subtract 5 and 4x from each side):

7x - 4x = 3 - 5

simplify:

3x = -2

divide both sides by 3:

x = -2/3
