4x-7x = -3
To do this equation, you collect like terms. 7x-4x+x-15 is your original equation, you have 3 terms with "'x'" in them, and they are 7x, -4x, and x. 7x + (-4x) +x simplifies to 4x, because 7-4 = 3 + 1 = 4 (the x is really 1x....). After this, you get 4x-15, which is as simplified as this equation can be.
7x = 4x - 93x = -9x = -3
-3x=-21+4x-3x-4x=-21+4x-4x-7x=-217x=217x/7=21/7x=3
combine like terms. 3x+1+4x-5=31 3x+4x=7x 7x+1-5=31 1-5=-4 7x-4=31 then solve it 7x=35 x=5
