Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)
Distribute
4 -2x-14 = 3x+15
Combine like terms
-2x-10 = 3x+15
Add 2x to each side
-2x-10+2x= 3x+15+2x
-10 = 5x+15
Subtract 15 from each side
-10-15 = 5x+15
-25 = 5x
Divide by 5
-25/5 = 5x/5
-5 =x

Two negatives <em>do not </em>equal a positive when adding. If you're in debt and you add more debt, does that get you out of debt?
Two negatives <em>do </em>equal a positive when you're multiplying them together though. This makes sense if you imagine multiplication as squishing or stretching a particular number on the number line. For example, imagine multiplying 2 x 1/2 as <em>squishing </em>the number 2 two times closer to 0. When you multiply 2 by a negative number, say, -1, you squish it so far down that you <em>flip it to the negative side of the number line</em>, bringing it to -2. You can imagine a similar thing happening if you multiply a number like -4 by -2. You squish -4 down to zero, and then <em>flip it to the positive side</em> and stretch it by a factor of 2, bringing it to 8.
