How to solve 1+4. x=-5+7. x

1+4. x = - 5+7. x

you take the 1 and - 5 add them

= - 4

then you have the 4. x and the 7. x

the x's leave them subtract 4 from 7

it's 3x now

so now you have - 4=3x

divide and you will have what x equals

Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Regroup terms.

1+4x=7x-5

2. Subtract 4x from both sides.

1=7x-5-

3. Simplify 7x-5-4x to 3x-5.

1=3x-5

4. Add 5 to both sides.

1+5=3x1+5=3x

5. Simplify 1+5 to 6.

6=3x

6. Divide both sides by 3.

3/ 6=x

7 Simplify 3 /6 to 22.

2=x

8 Switch sides.

x=2
