Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
the first step to solving the equation 2(x + 7) = 36 is by applying the BODMAS rule, which is
B...................bracket open
O.................. of
D......................... division
M.......................... multiplication
A............................. addition
S............................. subtraction
we are going to apply the first which is Bracket open
2(x + 7) = 36
2x + 14 = 36
2x = 36 - 14
2x = 22
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 2
2x/2 = 22/2
x = 11
to check if your answer is correct put the value of x into the question and see if the Left hand side = right hand side
2(x + 7) = 36
2(11 + 7) =36
22 + 14 = 36
36= 36...............proved
