Question

solve for x.
7x+5=8
2

Answer 1

whats that 2 for ?

Answer 2

7 divided by 2

Answer 3

7/2x + 5 = 8 --- is this your problem ?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

7/2x + 5 = 8 --- subtract 5 from both sides
7/2x = 8 - 5
7/2x = 3 -- divide both sides by 7/2
x = 3/(7/2)
x = 3 * 2/7
x = 6/7

or

7/2x + 5 = 8 -- multiply by the common denominator (2) to get rid of fractions
7x + 10 = 16 -- subtract 10 from both sides
7x = 16 - 10
7x = 6
x = 6/7

either way, you will arrive at the same answer :)
