Question

*NEED HELP!*

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$Hello!~$

$Let's~answer~your~question!$

$So,~for~this~equation,~we~need~to~use$ $~the~distributive~property~of$ $~multiplication.~but,before~we~start~to~solve$  $this~equation,~let's~get~to~know~what$

$distributive ~property ~of~multiplication~means!$

Distributive property of multiplication :  

$Distributive~property~of~multiplication~states~that$$when~a~~number~is~multiplied$

$by~the ~sum ~of~ two~ numbers,$ $the~ first~ number ~can~ be ~distributed ~to$ $both ~of~those$ $numbers~and~multiplied~by~each~of~them$ $separately.$

→ $a*(b+c)=a*b*+~a*c$  

Now, that we know what it means let's apply it in our equation:

$(2*x)+(2*7)=36$

Now, we simplify:

$2x+14=36$

Divide both sides by 2 in the equation:

$\frac{2x+14}{2} =\frac{36}{2}$

Simplify :

$x+7=18$

Thus, the first correct step is option B,

$then~comes,~option~"A"~then,~option~"F"~as~shown~above$ $The~remaining~options~are~not~enough~information~to~solve~the~given$ $equation:(x + 7) = 36.$
