your wrong
I apologize for the error. You are correct. The correct answer is:
x equals 23 sevenths.
To solve the equation 23 equals 7 times x, divide both sides of the equation by 7:
23/7 = 7x/7
The 7's on the right side of the equation cancel out, leaving:
23/7 = x
So, the solution to the equation is:
x = 23/7
or
x ≈ 3.2857
