Equations are balances

Balance scale showing x+7 on one side and 19 on the other, then subtracting 7 from both sides to leave x=12

The diagram shows an equation as a balance: x+7x+7x+7 on one side and 191919 on the other. If you subtract 777 from both sides, the balance stays equal and xxx is left on its own.
