Question 580045
{{{4x-2=5x+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x=5x+5+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{4x-5x=5+2}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=5+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x=7}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(7)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-7}}} Reduce.
