Question 99563


{{{7x+4=3x-8-7x+1}}} Start with the given equation



{{{7x+4=-4x-7}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{7x=-4x-7-4}}}Subtract 4 from both sides



{{{7x+4x=-7-4}}} Add 4x to both sides



{{{11x=-7-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{11x=-11}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(-11)/(11)}}} Divide both sides by 11 to isolate x




{{{x=-1}}} Divide
