Answer 10

Right!

So

7x = 23

Now you divide 7 on both sides of the equation

7x/7 = 23/7
x = 23/7

Can you simplify 23/7 for me since 7 doesn't go into 23 evenly

Answer 11

i dont know how to simplify.

Answer 12

Well how many times can 7 go into 23 evenly?

Answer 13

none.

Answer 14

Answer 15

We know that 7*3 = 21, but 7*4 = 28

So 7 can go into 23, 3 times but not perfectly

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

Answer 18

We know that x = 23/7
