Question

What is the value of X in the equation 2x + 7 equals 1

Answer 1

Assuming this is the same question that was posted few minutes ago, the answer is 3 because...

solve your equation step-by-step.

2x+7=1

Subtract 7 from both sides.

2x+7−7=1−7

2x=−6

Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=−6/2

x=−3

Answer 2

You said 2x+ 7 = 1

Subtract 7 from each side: 2x = -6

Divide each side by 2 : x = -3
