7x+3=2x-7x
Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.
7x+3=-5x
Combine 2x and -7x to get -5x.
7x+3+5x=0
Add 5x to both sides.
12x+3=0
Combine 7x and 5x to get 12x.
12x=-3
Subtract 3 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-3}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=-\frac{1}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-3}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
