If you use the addition property of equality, what number would you add to both sides of the equal sign to isolate the variable?

You would subtract 5/7 from both sides of the equation

What is the solution?

x = 26/7 or 3 and 5/7

x + 5/7 = 31/7

Subtract 5/7 from both sides of the equation:

x + 5/7 - 5/7 = 31/7 - 5/7

x = 26/7
