Question: what is the value of x 4x-2= (-7) +5x. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could actually explain to me step by step

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

given

4x - 2 = - 7 + 5x

collect terms in x on one side of the equation and numeric values on the other side.

Subtract 4x from both sides

- 2 = - 7 + x ( add 7 to both sides )

5 = x ⇒ x = 5
