So today's blog is simply showing you how to solve 2x-7=15. Now this question isn't that hard, because it is very basic and hopefully you will follow along perfectly. 

Now the first step is to add. How do we add this since there aren't any places to add? Simple. Just add 7 to 15 and 7 itself. So basically, it is 7+7 and 15+7. Now, you do not add 7+7 because if you look at the problem, the original 7 is subtracted, which means that the original 7 is actually a negative 7 (-7). So if you add -7+7, it just equals 
zero, so cross it out. Now you just need to add 15+7, which is 32. Your problem should now look like this: 2x=32. All you have to do now is just divide 32 by 2, which is pretty easy. 32 divided by 2 is 16, which is now your answer.

These multi-step equations are really easy, and they are not that hard to do. You just have to watch out for the operations. The key step is to just remember what is the opposite of the operation, and if you follow that it won't be hard.
