7x = -8 + 5x
Solving
7x = -8 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
7x + -5x = -8 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 7x + -5x = 2x
2x = -8 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
2x = -8 + 0
2x = -8
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -4
Simplifying
x = -4
done, i hope it helps
