Question

Solve for x: 7x = 63

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

7x = 63

Divide each side by 7 to isolate x

7x/7 = 63/7

x = 9

Answer 2

Answer: x = 9

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this equation, we want to get x by itself on the left side of the equation.

Since x is being multiplied by 7, to get x by itself, we need to divide by 7 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 7 on the left side, we must also divide by 7 on the right side. On the left side, notice that the 7's cancel out so we're simply left with x. On the right side we have 63 divided by 7 which is 9 so we have x = 9.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 9 back into the original equation. So we have 7(9) = 63 which is a true statement.

So our answer, x = 9, is correct.
