y-3=-x-7
To find the opposite of x+7, find the opposite of each term.
-x-7=y-3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x=y-3+7
Add 7 to both sides.
-x=y+4
Add -3 and 7 to get 4.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{y+4}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{y+4}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-\left(y+4\right)
Divide y+4 by -1.
y-3=-x-7
To find the opposite of x+7, find the opposite of each term.
