Answer:
[tex]\boxed {x = 4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]7x - 21 = x + 3[/tex]
-Take [tex]x[/tex] and subtract it from [tex]7x[/tex]:
[tex]7x - 21 - x = x - x + 3[/tex]
[tex]6x - 21 = 3[/tex]
-Add both sides [tex]21[/tex]:
[tex]6x - 21 + 21 = 3 + 21[/tex]
[tex]6x = 24[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]6[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{24}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {x = 4}[/tex]
Thus, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]4[/tex].
