Question 577558
{{{3x+9=7x+25}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x=7x+25-9}}} Subtract {{{9}}} from both sides.



{{{3x-7x=25-9}}} Subtract {{{7x}}} from both sides.



{{{-4x=25-9}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4x=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(16)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-4}}} Reduce.
