Question

2xy = x+7 solve for x.

Answer 1

2xy=x+7
2xy-x=7
x(2y-1)=7
x=7/(2y-1)

Answer: x=7/(2y-1)

Answer 2

Ok,

First, you have to subtract x from both sides,
2xy-x=7

Then you factor out the common term, x
x(2y-1)=7

The last step is to divide....
divide both sides by 2y-1

So you now get
x= 7/2y-1
