Solve 2(x-1)-7=16

Evaluate

2 (x - 1) - 7 = 16

Move the expression to the left side

2 (x - 1) - 7 - 16 = 0

Subtract the numbers

2 (x - 1) - 23 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

2 x - 25 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2 x = 0 + 25

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

2 x = 25

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{25}{2}

Solution

x = \frac{25}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 12.5
