what is 5 + 4 - 7 = 4x + 3 -x?

Question

I'm having trouble figuring this out I know you have to subtract like terms but then I get lost can someone help me?

Answer 1

5 + 4 - 7 = 4x + 3 - x
9 - 7 = 3x + 3
2 = 3x + 3
2 - 3 = 3x + 3 - 3
-1 = 3x
-1/3 = 3x/3
-1/3 = x

Answer 2

start with the left side, 5+4=9 and 9-7=2, so we know 2=4x+3-x
Next we combine like terms, 4x and x. subtract the x from 4x and you get 3x. so we know that 2=3x+3. Now we have to use inverse operations to get rid of +3. The opposite of adding is subtracting, so subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
You should get -1=3x. once again we must use inverse operations to get x by itself. The opposite of multiplication is division, so we are going to divide by 3 on both sides. your final answer should b -1/3=x

Answer 3

5 + 4 - 7 = 3x + 3
2 = 3x + 3
-1 = 3x
-1/3 = x

So -1/3 is the answer for x

Answer 4

5+4-7=4x+3-x
9-7=4x+3-x
2=4x+3-x
-1=4x-x
-1=3x
-1/3=x

just get the constants on one side and the variables on the other and add/subtract. hopefully i didnt make a stupid mistake somewhere in there ;) but you get the general idea.

Answer 5

5 + 4 - 7 = 4x + 3 -x
2=3x+3
3x=-1
x=-1/3

Answer 6

5 + 4 - 7 = 4x + 3 - x

9 - 7 = 3x + 3

2 = 3x + 3

2 - 3 = 3x + 3 - 3

- 1 = 3x

- 1/3 = 3x/3

- 1/3 = x

The answer is x = - 1/3

- - - - - - - -s-

Answer 7

5+4=9
9-7=4x+3-x
2=4x+3-x
-subtract 3 from 2
2-3= -1
4x-x=3x
-divide 3x by -1
x= -1/3

i think thats how you do it

Answer 8

The answer is 3/2

Answer 9

2 = 3x+3 (just simplified)

-1 = 3x
x= -1/3

Answer 10

x=32
