Answer: -7

See one solved, step by step

Solve for x.

−5x + 7 = −7x + 15
📘 Worked solution
1−5x + 7 = −7x + 15x shows up on both sides — get all the x-terms together on one side first.
22x = 8Move the x-terms to one side and the number terms to the other, then combine each group.
3x = 8 / 2Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.
4x = 4Simplify to find x.
