If you take away the two from the x first in 2 times x plus 3 equals 7 what does x equal

X = 2 because when you set out the problem it looks like this ...

2x+3=7 now you have to subtract 3

-3 - 3

so now it's ...

2x = 4

now you divide both numbers by 2

so the answer is x = 2

The answer is x=2 because 2x + 3 = 7

-3 - 3

2x = 4

:2 : 2

x = 2
