To solve the equation \( ax - b = 7 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:
1. Add \( b \) to both sides of the equation:
\[
ax = 7 + b
\]
2. Divide both sides by \( a \) (since \( a \) is a nonzero constant):
\[
x = \frac{7 + b}{a}
\]
So, the solution is:
\[
x = \frac{7 + b}{a}
\]
1. Add \( b \) to both sides of the equation:
\[
ax = 7 + b
\]
2. Divide both sides by \( a \) (since \( a \) is a nonzero constant):
\[
x = \frac{7 + b}{a}
\]
So, the solution is:
\[
x = \frac{7 + b}{a}
