Let's set up the equation:
(2x - 3) ÷ 5 = 7
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (2x - 3) ÷ 5 = 7 * 5
2x - 3 = 35
Add 3 to both sides of the equation:
2x - 3 + 3 = 35 + 3
2x = 38
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2x / 2 = 38 / 2
x = 19
Therefore, the value of x is 19.
When 3 is subtracted from 2x and the difference is divided by 5. The result is 7. What is the value of x?
