Answer:

3 2/7

Explanation:

7x + 15 = 38

subtract 15 from both sides

7x = 23

divide by 7 on both sides

23 ÷ 7

x = 3.28 or 3 2/7

hope this helped ! :)

Answer:

x = 23/7

Explanation:

7 x + 15 equals 38

7x+15 = 38

Subtract 15 from each side

7x+15-15 = 38-15

7x = 23

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 23/7

x = 23/7
