x + 5 = -7

To solve for x, you must isolate it. To do this, you apply the opposite operation to the numbers on the left. And whatever is done on one side, must be done to the other side.

In this example, we would subtract 5 from both sides of the equals sign.

That is,

x + 5 = -7

- 5 -5

x + 0 = -12

So, x = -12
