Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-7 + x = 25\), you can isolate \(x\) by adding 7 to both sides of the equation:

\[
-7 + x + 7 = 25 + 7
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = 32
\]

Now, let's check our answer by substituting \(x\) back into the original equation:

\[
-7 + 32 = 25
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
25 = 25
\]

Since both sides are equal, our solution is verified.

Thus, the solution is:

\[
x = 32
\]
