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.
