  3. Evaluate: 7+2 x = 4 x-3

Expression: $$7 + 2 x = 4 x - 3$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$7+2x-4x=-3$$

Combine $2x$ and $-4x$ to get $-2x$.

$$7-2x=-3$$

Subtract $7$ from both sides.

$$-2x=-3-7$$

Subtract $7$ from $-3$ to get $-10$.

$$-2x=-10$$

Divide both sides by $-2$.

$$x=\frac{-10}{-2}$$

Divide $-10$ by $-2$ to get $5$.

$$x=5$$
