Question

X - 7 = 3x -53

Answer 1

Answer:

x=23

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move variable (3x)  to the left-hand side and change its sign

  Move constant (7) to right-hand side and change its sign

  x-7=3x-53

  x-3x-7=-53+7

2. Collect like terms [x-3x]

   Calculate the sum [-53+7]

   x-3x= -53+7

   -2x= -46

3.  Divide both sides of the equation by -2

    -2x/2 =-46/2

4. Solution

   x=23
