Answer:
Equation: 7x - 23 = 25 + x
Solution: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 23 = 25 + x
1. Subtract 25 from both sides:
7x - 23 - 25 = 25 - 25 + x
7x - 48 = x
2. Subtract 7x from both sides to get x on one side:
7x - 7x - 48 = x - 7x
- 48 = -6x
3. Divide both sides by -6 to get x by itself:
8 = x
8 is the solution
