First of all, you have to know what you're looking for ... a number that you can

put in place of 'x' and make the whole statement true. There's only one number

that will work.

-4 + 7 = 5x - 2

Combine the numbers on the left side:

3 = 5x - 2

Add 2 to each side of the equation:

5 = 5x

Divide each side by 5:

1 = x
