How do I solve this equation 5x+7=3x-5

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + 7 = 3x + -5

Reorder the terms:

7 + 5x = 3x + -5

Reorder the terms:

7 + 5x = -5 + 3x

Solving

7 + 5x = -5 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

7 + 5x + -3x = -5 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

7 + 2x = -5 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

7 + 2x = -5 + 0

7 + 2x = -5

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + 2x = -5 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + 2x = -5 + -7

2x = -5 + -7

Combine like terms: -5 + -7 = -12

2x = -12

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -6

Simplifying

x = -6

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

answer is 33
