Hi there!


To solve this equation, I first would like to warn you about the long answer I am about to post for you. I'll be putting in very detailed steps for you, showing you how to simplify and distribute numbers, etc. :)


Let us solve your equation step-by-step.


Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation.


To simplify this, we will...


4 + (-2) (x) + (-2) (7) = (3) (x) + (3) (5)


4 + - 2x + - 14 = 3x + 15


(-2x) + (4 + - 14) = 3x + 15


Now, we combine Like Terms...


-2x + - 10 = 3x + 15


-2x - 10 = 3x + 15


Fwew! That was probably going to be the longest step here!


Step 2) Subtract 3x from both sides.


- 2x - 10 - 3x = 3x + 15 - 3x


- 5x - 10 = 15


Step 3) Add 10 to both sides.


- 5x - 10 + 10 = 15 + 10


- 5x = 25


Step 4) Divide both sides by -5.


-5x/-5 = 25/-5


So, our final answer is x = -5.


Hope this helps!

Message me if you need anything else! I'd be happy to help! :D
