To solve the equation \( \frac{X - 5}{23} = \frac{7}{23} \), you can follow these steps:
Eliminate the denominator: Since both sides of the equation have a denominator of 23, you can multiply both sides by 23 to eliminate it:
\[ X - 5 = 7 \]
Isolate \(X\): Add 5 to both sides of the equation to solve for \(X\):
\[ X = 7 + 5 \] \[ X = 12 \]
So, the solution to the equation is \(X = 12\).
