1. The problem is to find the solution step by step for the given question (not specified, so assuming a general approach). 2. First, identify the type of problem (e.g., algebraic equation, calculus problem, etc.). Since the user did not specify, let's consider a simple algebraic example: solve for $x$ in $2x + 3 = 7$. 3. Use the formula or method for solving linear equations: isolate the variable on one side. 4. Subtract 3 from both sides: $$2x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3$$ which simplifies to $$2x = 4$$. 5. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{4}{2}$$. 6. Simplify the fraction: $$x = 2$$. 7. Therefore, the solution is $x = 2$. This is a general step-by-step approach to solving a simple linear equation.
