You can put this solution on YOUR website! first you must take the like terms
and combine them.
but you must keep them on opposite sides
of the equal sign.
step 1:
subtract 5x from both sides.
9x-5x+7=-3
step 2:
subtract 7 from both sides.
9x-5x=-7-3
step 3:
now simplify both sides.
4x=-10
step 4:
divide 4 by both sides.
x=10/4
step 5:
simplify the fraction.
x=5/2
good luck!
