Hello! I would love to help!
Let's start with this part of the equation: "the sum of a number and seven"
Alright. We know that x represents an unknown number. Do you see a part of the equation that could translate to "an unknown number?"
I see "a number." So let's fill X in for "a number.
Alright. So now we have "the sum of x and 7."
Next, let's remember that sum means adding. So we just need to 7 to x
X+7
So, now instead of "the sum of a number and 7" we have x+7.
Alright. Now we just have to do the "twice." When it is asking for "twice", it is asking us to multiply our answer by two. But we need to multiply both x and 7. The best way to do that is to put our "x+7" in parenthesis and put a two outside.
2(x+7)
That's your answer! 2(x+7)
Hope this helped! Comment if you have any questions!
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Figure 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent shapes are shapes that share the same side lengths and angle measures. In figure 1, we see that all sides and angles are marked equal, thus both shapes are congruent. However, in figure 2, we clearly see that the sides of each of the triangles are different. Thus, the triangles in figure 2 are not congruent.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
14 plus 40 equals 54 divided by 3 equals 18 
The answer is 18
