Solve for x 7x-7=14

$7 x - 7 = 14$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $7$ to both sides of the equation.

$7 x = 14 + 7$

Add $14$ and $7$ .

$7 x = 21$

Step 2

Divide each term in $7 x = 21$ by $7$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $7 x = 21$ by $7$ .

$\frac{7 x}{7} = \frac{21}{7}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $7$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{7 x}{7} = \frac{21}{7}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{21}{7}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $21$ by $7$ .

$x = 3$
