Answer:
Explanation:
First, you'll want to combine like terms by bringing the
x's together. This can be done by adding 7x to both sides.
4 − 7x = 5x
to get
4 = 12x
To solve for x, you must divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 12 and then simplify.
x = 4/12
x = 1/3
x is therefore equal to 1/3.
