Hi, 

To solve this equation, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

This is done by performing the same operations to both sides of the equation,

-7x - 23 = -25 1/3     Adding 7x to both sides

-23 = 7x -25 1/3      Adding 25 1/3 to both sides

-23 + 25 1/3 = 7x  

2 1/3 = 7x         simplifying 2 1/3 = 7/3

7/3 = 7x           dividing both sides by 7

1/3 = x
