Answer:

A.) x = 25

Explanation:

Start off with the original problem

x - 7 = 18

1.) The question is looking for what x is equal to, so you need to get x on one side of the equal sign by itself. To do this, do the opposite of what is stopping it from being by itself. In this case, it's a -7. Make sure to do it on both sides of the equation to keep it balanced.

x -7 +7 = 18 +7

(the -7 and +7 cancel each other out)

x = 25
