5-3x=-7
Add 7 to both sides
12-3x
Divide both sides by 3

The value of x in the equation 5 - 3x = - 7 is 4.

The simple algebraic expression consists of numbers and variables. The objective is to determine the value of x in this expression.

From the given information;

  • 5 - 3x = - 7
  • -3x = -7 - 5
  • -3x = -12

Multiply both sides by (-)

  • 3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{3x}{3} = \dfrac{12}{3}}[/tex]

x = 4

Therefore, the value of x  in the equation 5 - 3x = -7 is 4.
