    x=16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Distributive property says a (b+c) = ab+ac

    1) You have 4 (x-1) ... This can be simplified to 4x-4

    4x-4-5=3x+7

    2) Combine alike terms:

    4x-9=3x+7

    3) add a 9 to both sides:

    4x=3x+16

    4) subtract a 3x from both sides:

    x=16
