Answer :
We start with the equation
[tex]$$
x + 7 = 23.
$$[/tex]
To isolate [tex]$x$[/tex], subtract [tex]$7$[/tex] from both sides of the equation. This gives
[tex]$$
x + 7 - 7 = 23 - 7.
$$[/tex]
Simplifying both sides, we have
[tex]$$
x = 16.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the solution to the equation is [tex]$x = 16$[/tex].
[tex]$$
x + 7 = 23.
$$[/tex]
To isolate [tex]$x$[/tex], subtract [tex]$7$[/tex] from both sides of the equation. This gives
[tex]$$
x + 7 - 7 = 23 - 7.
$$[/tex]
Simplifying both sides, we have
[tex]$$
x = 16.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the solution to the equation is [tex]$x = 16$[/tex].
