2x-7+3x=2x-8
Subtract 3 from -4 to get -7.
5x-7=2x-8
Combine 2x and 3x to get 5x.
5x-7-2x=-8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x-7=-8
Combine 5x and -2x to get 3x.
3x=-8+7
Add 7 to both sides.
3x=-1
Add -8 and 7 to get -1.
x=\frac{-1}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-\frac{1}{3}
Fraction \frac{-1}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
