  simplifying both sides of the equation by combining like terms.

  2x + 7 = 5x + 4

  isolate the terms with x on one side, we can subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to eliminate the 2x term from the left side.

  2x – 2x + 7 = 5x – 2x + 4

  7 = 3x + 4

  Next, we can further simplify the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides to isolate the term with x.

  7 – 4 = 3x + 4 – 4

  3 = 3x

  Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x.

  3/3 = 3x/3

  1 = x

  Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x + 7 = 5x + 4 is x = 1.
