How do I solve the equation:

2x + 37 = 8x + 7?

You have to make sure that whatever you do to one side, you also do to the other.
2x + 37 = 8x + 7 2x + 37 - 2x = 8x + 7 - 2x 37 = 6x + 7 37 - 7 = 6x + 7 - 7 30 = 6x 30 / 6 = 6x / 6 5 = x x = 5
Hope this helps! :)

To solve the equation 2 x + 37 = 8 x + 7 , we first isolate x by moving terms around, leading to x = 5 . We verified this by substituting back into the original equation, confirming that both sides are equal. Therefore, the solution is x = 5 .
