Answer 2

Simplifying

17.5 = 7x

Solving

17.5 = 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

17.5 + -7x = 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

17.5 + -7x = 0

Add '-17.5' to each side of the equation.

17.5 + -17.5 + -7x = 0 + -17.5

Combine like terms: 17.5 + -17.5 = 0.0

0.0 + -7x = 0 + -17.5

-7x = 0 + -17.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -17.5 = -17.5

-7x = -17.5

Divide each side by '-7'.

x = 2.5

Simplifying

x = 2.5
