Use inverse operations to combine the terms of x and have only constants on the other side of the equality symbol.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-7=4x%2B5\", given
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B5=3x-7\", symmetric property
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B5%2B%28-3x%29=3x-7%2B%28-3x%29\", additive inverse property, also addition prop. of equality
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Ax%2B5=0-7\", combining like terms, also additive inverse property
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B5%2B%28-5%29=-7%2B%28-5%29\", additive inverse property, as well as addition property of equality
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-12\", simple arithmetic computation.
