[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with: -15 + 3x = 7

First, let's get rid of the -15 by adding it to both sides:

-15 + 15 + 3x = 7 + 15

This simplifies to:

3x = 22

Next, we can divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

3x/3 = 22/3

This simplifies to:

x = 22/3

So, the solution for x is 22/3 or 2 2/3.

To solve for x in the equation -15 + 3x = 7, follow these steps:

Step 1: Move -15 to the other side of the equation by adding 15 to both sides:
-15 + 15 + 3x = 7 + 15
3x = 22

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:
(3x)/3 = 22/3
x = 22/3

Therefore, the solution for x is 22/3, which can also be written as 7 1/3.

To solve for x in the equation −15 + 3x = 7, follow these steps:

Step 1: Isolate the variable term
Add 15 to both sides of the equation.
−15 + 3x + 15 = 7 + 15
This simplifies to:
3x = 22

Step 2: Solve for x
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3.
3x/3 = 22/3
This simplifies to:
x = 22/3

So the solution to the equation is x = 22/3, which can be written as a mixed number:
x = 7 1/3
