Answer 1

The usual way to solve this is to expand everything out

and then get the x's by themselves on one side and the numbers on the other, 

like this:

 

7(2x-3)  = 7

14x - 21 = 7

      +21    +21    add 21 to each side of equ.

-----------------

14x      =   28

divide both sides by 14 to get

   x = 2
