What is - 4x+7=5 (x+2)

First expand the brackets to get: - 4x+7=5x+10

Then rearrange to get all the number terms and letter terms on one side:

7-10=5x+4x

Then simplify both sides to get: - 3=9x

Rearrange to find x by itself: - 3/9=x

Simplify to find the value of x: x = - 1/3 or - 0.333333 (recurring)

I'm not 100% sure I got this right check over to make sure!

Do you want me to explain
