Find the value of x.
(7x+ 31)

Here we will show you how to solve 7x = 31. In other words, we will solve for x in order to find the value of x in this equation:

7x = 31

The goal is to get x by itself on the left side. First, we divide both sides by 7 like this:

7x

7

=

31

7

When a numerator and denominator value are the same, then you can eliminate them by crossing them out:

7x

7

=

31

7

Then you are left with x by itself on the left like this:

x =

31

7

Finally, 31 over 7 is the same as 31 divided by 7. So, we enter that into our calculator to get the final

x ≈ 4.429
