Evaluate
x−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=7
x=75x+8=0

Evaluate
5x+8=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5x=0−8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5x=−8
Divide both sides
55x=5−8
Divide the numbers
x=5−8
