1. The problem is to provide simple steps to solve a math problem (though the exact problem is not specified). 2. Since no specific problem is given, let's consider a simple algebraic example: Solve for $x$ in the equation $2x + 3 = 7$. 3. The formula used here is to isolate the variable $x$ by performing inverse operations. 4. Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides to get rid of the constant term on the left side. $$2x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3$$ $$2x = 4$$ 5. Step 2: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for $x$. $$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{4}{2}$$ $$x = 2$$ 6. So, the solution is $x = 2$. 7. This method applies to many simple linear equations: perform inverse operations step-by-step to isolate the variable.
