Answer:
c) x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation: 7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1)
<u><em>Steps:</em></u>
1. Distribute 4 through the parentheses:
7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x) + 4(-1)
7x - 9 = 28 + 4x - 4 [simplify]
7x - 9 = 24 + 4x
2. Subtract 4x from both sides:
7x - 4x - 9 = 24 + 4x - 4x
3x - 9 = 24
3. Add 9 to both sides:
3x - 9 + 9 = 24 + 9
3x = 33
4. Divide both sides by 3:
3x ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3
x = 11
5. Check your work:
7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1) [substitute 11 for x]
7(11) - 9 = 28 + 4(11 - 1) [simplify]
77 - 9 = 28 + 4(10) [simplify]
68 = 28 + 40 [add]
68 = 68 ✔
