skullpatrol · Answer

inverse operations: Operations that "undo" each other, for example multiplication and division.

anonymous · Answer

I literally don't get any of this.

skullpatrol · Answer

If the side containing the variable involves a certain order of operations apply the inverse operations in the opposite order.

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

Subtract 7 both sides by transposition

5x+7-7=22-7
5x=15
Now divide 5 both sides by transposition
5x/5=15/5
