     Today I am going to explain step by step how to solve the equation 2x-7=15.  Here we go:
2x-7=15
Step 1:  add 7 to both sides.
Why?  You add 7 to both sides in order to get x alone.  You will end up with 2x=22.
Step 2:  divide by 2.
Why?  Right now you have the quantity of 2x.  In order to get the amount of x, you must divide by 2.  This will leave you with x=11.  Now you are done.  Your answer is x=11.
