Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{b-7}{a-2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
ax + 7 = 2x + b ( subtract 2x from both sides )
ax - 2x + 7 = b ( subtract 7 from both sides )
ax - 2x = b - 7 ← factor out x from each term on the left side
x(a - 2) = b - 7 ← divide both sides by (a - 2)
x = [tex]\frac{b-7}{a-2}[/tex]
