Answer:
The steps for solving 7x + 3 = 52 are shown. Explain how each step helps solve the
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7x + 3 = 52
Reorder the terms:
3 + 7x = 52
Solving
3 + 7x = 52
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + 7x = 52 + -3
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 7x = 52 + -3
7x = 52 + -3
Combine like terms: 52 + -3 = 49
7x = 49
Divide each side by '7'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
