<PRE><B>Question 654332</B>
-8x+7=4x-5


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
