First subtract the 2 to isolate the 7x. Remember what you do to one side you do to the other, so then you would subtract 2 from 30 as well giving you 7x=28. After that in order to isolate x, you would divide by 7 on both sides giving you x=4.
Answer:
x = 4
Explanation:
You are solving for x. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note that:
PEMDAS =
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
7x + 2 = 30
First, subtract 2 from both sides:
7x + 2 (-2) = 30 (-2)
7x = 30 - 2
7x = 28
Next, divide 7 from both sides:
(7x)/7 = (28)/7
x = 28/7
x = 4
x = 4 is your answer.
