Please don't report me if I am wrong :(

x=2!

I think you asked: Solve for x: 4 − (x + 2) −7

The answer is x=2

Let's simplify step-by-step.

4−(x+2)−7

=4+−x+−2+−7

Combine Like Terms:

=4+−x+−2+−7

=(−x)+(4+−2+−7)

=−x+−5

That is the simplified answer. If you think carefully, I think x=2

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

4 - (x + 2) - 7 = x - 9

4 - x - 2 - 7 = x - 9

-5 = 2x - 9

4 = 2x

x = 2
