plz help i am confused

supie · Answer

$7x+15=38$

$-15$, both sides: 
$7x+15−15=38−15=$
$7x=23$

$÷7$ (using fraction bars [fraction is division]) 
$\LARGE\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{23}{7}$
$\LARGE  x= \frac{?}{?}$

supie · Answer

The last part all we were doing is dividing by `7`

remi2019 · Answer

oh so it is 23/7

supie · Answer

Fractions are division 
so we use the fraction bar
then $\frac{7x}{7}$ cancels. 
so then all we have left is $\frac{23}{7}$
