What is the numerical value of x?

Given the statement in the question?

"Seven subtracted from seven times a number is 147"

Translate the statement into an equation;

Let x represent the unknown number.

  • Seven times a number ⇒ 7 × x = 7x
  • Seven subtracted from ⇒ -7
  • Is 147 ⇒ = 147

Now, combine

7x - 7 = 147

Therefore the translation of the statement is 7x - 7 = 147.

Next, we solve for x

7x - 7 = 147

Add 7 to both sides

7x - 7 + 7 = 147 + 7

7x = 154

x = 154/7

x = 22

Therefore, the translation of the statement is 7x - 7 = 147 and the numerical value of x is 22.
