Subtract 7 from each side of the equation.
-8x + 7 - 7 = 4x - 5 - 7
Combine like terms:
7 - 7 = 0
-5 - 7 = -12
-8x = 4x - 12
Subtract 4x from each side of the equation.
-8x - 4x = 4x - 12 - 4x
Combine like terms:
-8x - 4x = -12x
4x - 4x = 0
-12x = -12
Divide each side by -12
-12x/-12 = -12/-12
x = 1
The Answer:
x = 1
