Need a quick answer to a math problem

[Duke Nukem]

I'm trying to register at a forum, and they have a control question based on a math problem.

Given the expression: 2x+7 = 819
What is the value of x?

I'm actually kinda dissapointed that I can't figure it out, and Google is not my friend on this one.

Anyone with a couple of more braincells then I have left that know the answer?
Clearly this is out my leauge.

If you don't know the answer, you're not meant to join, yes?

Well if you have to know it's the BSNES boards I'm trying to register to. I want to start participate in their discussions regarding the emulator.
Math is not my strong side, but for the love of god just let me in already.

2x+7 = 819 | -7
2x = 812 | :2
x = 406

easy, huh? This is the "equivalent transformation". (in german: Äquivalenzumformung). Yeah, i'm a little bit too late, i know.

disgusting god doesnt exist in math

what was your profession?

That's an interesting way of keeping out people that are... shall we say, not very bright, and in turn making the forum a better place. Nothing against you, of course, Gabriel. Generally speaking.
