Given that 5x + 7 = 4, we don't understand the equation. If we want the value of 5x-2, how should we deform it? What is the value of 5x-2?

Given that 5x + 7 = 4, we don't understand the equation. If we want the value of 5x-2, how should we deform it? What is the value of 5x-2?

5X+7=4
5x-2+9=4
5x-2=4-9=-5
