Answer:

Here's some help!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, I've been in this situation before, once you get the hang of it, it's super easy!

You can rewrite the equation like this, 5x + 3 = 7 (It's still the same equation, don't worry!)

The way the problem would go ,,

5x + 3 = 7

      -3  -3

5x/5 =  4/5

x = 0.8

You have to reverse the second number into the opposite, for example if it was +9, we would change it to -9 and subtract from both sides.

On the first number, we bring it down and put the same number under that number and do the same for the third number. Now, you'd divide 4 by 5 and get x! If that was confusing, just tell me!!!
