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

You said 2x + 7 = 1

Subtract 7 from each side: 2x = - 6

Divide each side by 2 : x = - 3
