Answer:

x=32

Explanation:

The first step you need to do is get rid of the fraction so that we can isolate the x variable. To do that, you multiply each side by 2 with the multiplication property of equality, which states, that whatever you multiply on one side, you must do it to the other.

(2)x/2-(2)7=9(2)

x-14=18

To continue isolating the variable, you add 14 to both sides. The addition property of equality states that whatever you add on one side, you must do it to the other.

x-14+14=18+14

With that you get, x=32.

Answer: x = 25

Step-by-step explanation: First multiply 2 by both sides to get x by itself. Then you add 7 to both sides making it x = 25.
