1 answer

To solve the equation \( 4x + 7 = 23 - 8 \), we first simplify the right side:

\[ 23 - 8 = 15 \]

Now the equation becomes:

\[ 4x + 7 = 15 \]

Next, we subtract 7 from both sides:

\[ 4x = 15 - 7 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 4x = 8 \]

Now, divide both sides by 4:

\[ x = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{2} \]
