Evaluate
x+3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=−3
x=−37x+3=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
7x+3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
7x=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
7x=−3
Divide both sides
77x=7−3
Divide the numbers
x=7−3
