Solve for x x/7+9=15

$\frac{x}{7} + 9 = 15$

Step 1

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

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{7} = 15 - 9$

Subtract $9$ from $15$ .

$\frac{x}{7} = 6$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $7$ .

$7 \frac{x}{7} = 7 \cdot 6$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $7$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$7 \frac{x}{7} = 7 \cdot 6$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 7 \cdot 6$
