You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve: We need to get the x's onto one side of the equation, so we'll add 3x to both sides. Simplifying (adding/subtracting the x's) this we get... now we need to get the integers over to the right side so we subtract 7 from both sides. Perform the indicated addition/subtractions. Finally, to get the x by itself, we'll divide both sides by 10. and simplify. or

7x + 7 = 5 - 3x + 6
7x + 7 = -3x + 11 (added the 5 and 6)
7x + 3x + 7 - 7 = -3x + 3x + 11 - 7 (added 3x to both sides, subtracted 7 from both sides)
10x = 4
x = 4/10 (divided both sides by 10)
x = 2/5 (simplified fraction)
