Solve 33 = 7(2x - 1) - 2

Evaluate

33 = 7 (2 x - 1) - 2

Swap the sides of the equation

7 (2 x - 1) - 2 = 33

Move the expression to the left side

7 (2 x - 1) - 2 - 33 = 0

Subtract the numbers

7 (2 x - 1) - 35 = 0

14 x - 42 = 0

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

14 x = 0 + 42

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

14 x = 42

Divide both sides

\frac{14 x}{14} = \frac{42}{14}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{42}{14}
