      7 - 5x  =  28 + 2x
      7 -5x + 5x = 28 + 2x + 5x (Trying to get unknown on one side of equation. Start by adding 5x tto both sides will zero out -5x)
      7 = 28 + 7x   (Now get the x all by itself....Subtract 28 from both sides)
      7 - 28 = 28 + 7x - 28
      -21 = 7x   Get the X alone; divide both sides by  7. 
      -21/7 = 7x/7
      -3 = x

        7 - 5x = 28 + 2x


           7 - 5x = 28 +2x


          -7  -2x    -7  - 2x


        ------------------------------------


                -7x   =   21


               -----      -----


                 -7           -7


        x = -3
