To find out how many points the basketball player scored initially, we can solve the equation:
\[
x + 7 = 30
\]
Subtracting 7 from both sides gives:
\[
x = 30 - 7
\]
\[
x = 23
\]
So, the basketball player initially scored **23 points**.
\[
x + 7 = 30
\]
Subtracting 7 from both sides gives:
\[
x = 30 - 7
\]
\[
x = 23
\]
So, the basketball player initially scored **23 points**.
