Seven less than twice x is 15. What is x?

Translation:[tex]\tt{7 - 2x = 15}[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]\tt{7 - 2x = 15}[/tex]

[tex]\tt{7 - 7 - 2x = 15 - 7}[/tex]

[tex]\tt{- 2x = 15 - 7}[/tex]

[tex]\tt{- 2x = 8}[/tex]

[tex]\tt{\frac{- 2x} {-2}= \frac{8}{-2}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\tt{x = -4}}[/tex]

Answer:

x = 11

Solution:

2x - 7 = 15

2x = 7 + 15

2x / 2= 22 / 2

x = 11
