Evaluate
x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=1
x=17x+5=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
7x+5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
7x=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
7x=−5
Divide both sides
77x=7−5
Divide the numbers
x=7−5
