The solution

You have entered [src]
-4*x + 7 = 5 + -3*x - 8
$$7 - 4 x = \left(- 3 x - 8\right) + 5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-4*x+7 = 5-(3*x+8)

Expand brackets in the right part
-4*x+7 = 5-3*x-8

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
7 - 4*x = -3 - 3*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = - 3 x - 10$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = -10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = -10 / (-1)

We get the answer: x = 10
