when you want to solve for a variable you want your asnwer to look like x=? So you need to separate x from everything else. So the first thing to do would be to subtract 4 from 7. So you end up with 3x=3. Now we need X not 3X. So divide both sides by 3. Then we get x = 1
X= 3/3 (divide both sides by 3 to get rid of x's co-efficient)
x=1
x=1
