Answer:

The solution for x would be 4.

Explanation:

2x - 1 = 7

The value of x is unknown, but you do know that you are multiplying 2 by x. So, if you rewrite the equation as 7+1=2x, you know that 8=2x. If you then divide both sides by 2, you're left with 4=x which would mean that the variable x has a solution of 4
