Answer 4

Simplifying
2x + -3 = 7x + 21

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2x = 7x + 21

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2x = 21 + 7x

Solving
-3 + 2x = 21 + 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 2x + -7x = 21 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 2x + -7x = -5x
-3 + -5x = 21 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
-3 + -5x = 21 + 0
-3 + -5x = 21

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + -5x = 21 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -5x = 21 + 3
-5x = 21 + 3

Combine like terms: 21 + 3 = 24
-5x = 24

Divide each side by '-5'.
x = -4.8

Simplifying
x = -4.8
