Solve for x: - 7x+2=-4x-7

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative. 4x + (-7x) = - 3x. Then it is just simply - 3x+2 = - 7. Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2. Then you should get - 3x = - 9. Then divide both sides by - 3 and the answer is x = 3.
