Respuesta :
change the subtraction to add 2x plus -4x
5=-4x (+2x)-7
5=-2x-7
since the x's are now on one side and we can't do anything with 5, on the other side you change -7 to add to the other side.
5 (+7)= -2x
12= -2x
divide -2 by 12.
-6 = x
5=-4x (+2x)-7
5=-2x-7
since the x's are now on one side and we can't do anything with 5, on the other side you change -7 to add to the other side.
5 (+7)= -2x
12= -2x
divide -2 by 12.
-6 = x
