7x - 4 = 5x + 15
Pass the numbers with letter to the left and the numbers without letter to the right, changing the signal as they change sides.
7x - 5x = 15 + 4
2x = 19
\(\boxed{\boxed{x = \frac{19}{2} }}\)

Answer:

\(x= \frac{19}{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

\(7x - 4 = 5x + 15\)

Solve the given equation for x. Our aim is to get x alone

\(7x - 4 = 5x + 15\)

Combine like terms by subtracting 5x from both sides

\(7x-5x - 4 = 5x-5x+ 15\)

\(2x - 4 =15\)

Now add 4 on both sides

\(2x - 4 +4=15+4\)

\(2x=19\)

Divide both sides by 2

\(x= \frac{19}{2}\)
