The solution of 7x + 2 = 23 is x = 3.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 7x + 2 and y = 23 meet at x = 3-22468-20204060x = 3y = 7x + 2y = 23
The lines y = 7x + 2 and y = 23 meet at x = 3. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    7x+2=237x + 2 = 23
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    7x+2−2=23−2 ⇒ 7x=217x + 2 - 2 = 23 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 21
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=217 ⇒ x=3\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{21}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
