Answer:
7(x+1)+4-4=2
We move all terms to the left:
7(x+1)+4-4-(2)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
7(x+1)-2=0
We multiply parentheses
7x+7-2=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
7x+5=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
7x=-5
x=-5/7
x=-5/7
