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

-3x - 6 - 7 = 5x + 7

-3x - 13 = 5x + 7

Answer:

Exact form = x=-5/2

Decimal form = x=-2.5

Mixed number form = x=-2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

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

-3x - 6 - 7 = 5x + 7

-3x - 13 = 5x + 7

-20 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself
