See a solution process below

Explanation:

Step 1) Subtract #color(red)(452)# from each side of the equation to isolate the #x# term while keeping the equation balanced:

#4x + 452 - color(red)(452) = 7000 - color(red)(452)#

#4x + 0 = 6548#

#4x = 6548#

Step 2) Divide each side of the equation by #color(red)(4)# to solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced:

#(4x)/color(red)(4) = 6548/color(red)(4)#

#(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))x)/cancel(color(red)(4)) = 1637#

#x = 1637#

Answer:
x = 1637

Explanation:

  1. Subtract 452 from BOTH SIDES to keep the equation balanced.
    4x = 6548

  2. Divide by 4 on BOTH SIDES to keep the equation balanced.
    x = 1637

And you are done!
