Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 22 from both sides.
15x = 7x + 62 - 22
2. Simplify 7x + 62 - 22 to 7x + 40.
15x = 7x + 40
3. Subtract 7x from both sides.
15x - 7x = 40
4. Simplify 15x - 7x to 8x.
8x = 40
5. Divide both sides by 8.
x = [tex]\frac{40}{8}[/tex]
6. Simplify [tex]\frac{40}{8}[/tex] to 5.
x = 5
