Answer 1

The proposed equation is solved as follows:

2X + 7 = 21

2X = 21 - 7

2X = 14

X = 14 / 2

X = 7

The value of X is 7.

A first degree equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or a product of a fixed term on a single variable. Therefore, this equation is a first degree one, since it only has a single variable, which is X.
