Original equation: 4x%2B5=7x-10
This is a linear equation where our goal is to get 'x' by itself.
Step 1: Add '10' to both sides so we don't have to deal with negatives
4x%2B5=7x-10
4x%2B15=7x
Step 2: Subtract '4x' to both sides so we don't have to deal with negatives
4x%2B15=7x
15=3x
Step 3: Divide both sides by '3' to get 'x' by itself
15=3x
5=x
Your answer is 5=x or x=5
