Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{2x + 3}{5} = 7[/tex]
First, let's multiply both sides by [tex]5[/tex]:
[tex]2x + 3 = 35[/tex]
Next, let's subtract [tex]3[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]2x = 32[/tex]
Finally, let's divide both sides by [tex]2[/tex] to isolate the [tex]x[/tex] variable:
[tex]x = 16[/tex]
