The equation is (x+7)/2=22

X is what we need to find out. (I’m not sure if you are in algebra yet so I’m sorry if you’re not)

First we should give both sides the same denominator (22=22/1)

(X+7)/2=22/1 now we can change 22/1 to 44/2
(X+7)/2=44/2

Now since we are trying to find x, we can remove the denominator to solve for x and make it easier.

x+7=44 subtract 7 from both sides
x=37

***so your answer is 37***
