1. The problem is to solve the equation without using the dollar sign symbol. 2. Since no specific equation is given, let's clarify that in math, the dollar sign is not used in equations; it is only a notation for currency. 3. If you have an algebraic expression or equation, you can write it using variables, numbers, and math symbols without any dollar signs. 4. For example, to solve $2x + 3 = 7$, you subtract 3 from both sides: $$2x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3$$ which simplifies to $$2x = 4$$ 5. Then divide both sides by 2: $$\frac{2x}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{4}{\cancel{2}}$$ which simplifies to $$x = 2$$ 6. This is a simple example showing how to solve an equation without any dollar sign symbol. 7. If you have a specific problem, please provide it, and I will solve it accordingly.
