Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - (7x + 5) = 13 - 3x

add the binomial (7x +5) to both sides

2 = (7x + 5) + 13 - 3x

combine like terms

2 = 4x + 18

subtract 18 from both sides

-16 = 4x

divide by 4

x = -4

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the negative signs to the values in the parentheses

2 -7x - 5 = 13 - 3x

Add like terms:

-7x - 3 = 13 - 3x

Add 3x to both sides:

-4x - 3 = 13

Add 3 to both sides:

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4:

x = -4
