\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @iambatman x = 10 - 7 = 3 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) The above step actually gets like this : \(\boxed{\textbf{Subtracting 7 both sides} : \\ \sf{x + 7 - \color{blue}{7} = 10 - \color{blue}{7} \\ x +\cancel{ \color{blue}{7}} = 10 = \color{blue}{7} \\ }}\)
