When solving the equation 7x – 4 = 5x + 3, what is the value of x?

-1
1
-7
7

The correct answer is: 1

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equal sign. By subtracting 5x from both sides and adding 4 to both sides, we get 2x = 7. Dividing both sides by 2, we can see that x = 7/2. None of the other options accurately represent this value of x. Option A and C both result in negative values for x, while option D results in a larger value for x. Therefore, the only correct option is B 1.
