3x-5-7-\left(-4x\right)=2
To find the opposite of 7-4x, find the opposite of each term.
3x-5-7+4x=2
The opposite of -4x is 4x.
3x-12+4x=2
Subtract 7 from -5 to get -12.
7x-12=2
Combine 3x and 4x to get 7x.
7x=2+12
Add 12 to both sides.
7x=14
Add 2 and 12 to get 14.
x=\frac{14}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=2
Divide 14 by 7 to get 2.
