Question

How do you solve `3x + 7 = 22`?

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Isolate the x term on the left side and move numbers to the right

subtract 7 from both sides : 3x + 7 - 7 = 22 - 7

now have : 3x = 15 , and dividing both sides by 3, will give value of x.

`(cancel(3)x)/cancel(3) = 15/3 rArr x = 5`
