5x + 3 = 4x - 7

What is the correct answer

x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x + 3 = 4x - 7 (subtract 4x from both sides)

x + 3 = - 7 (subtract 3 from both sides)

x = - 10

5x+3=4x-7

Move 3 to the other side

Sign changes from + 3 to - 3

5x+3-3 = 4x-7-3

5x = 4x-10

Move + 4x to the other side

Sign changes from + 4x to - 4x

5x-4x = - 10

1x = - 10

Divide by 1

1/1x = - 10/1

x = - 10

Answer : x = - 10
