Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2(x + 7) = 4

Distribute

-2x -14 = 4

Add 14 to each side

-2x-14+14 = 4+14

-2x = 18

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 18/-2

x = -9

How do I do pre-Algebra???
Lana71 [14]

Hey there!

The main concept of pre-algebra is solving equations for variables in them.

For example, let's say you have the algebraic equation below.

x+1=3

With algebra, you need to figure what x is equal to. To do so, you will use inverse operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x one side, showing what it is equal to.

We would subtract 1 to both sides to isolate x on one side.

x+1-1=3-1

As you can see, +1-1=0, therefore, this would give us x+0, or just x. Now it is isolated and will show us what it is equal to.

x=3-1

x=2

Therefore, in our equation x+1=3, x would be equal to 2.

I hope this explanation helps! Have a great time here at Brainly!
