Question

Drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation 2(x+7)=36 .

Answer 1

2(x+7)=36 DISTRIBUTE THE 2
2x+14=36  SUBTRACT 14 FROM BOTH SIDES
     -14  -14
   2x=22 DIVIDE BY 2 ON BOTH SIDES
    /2  /2 
      x=11 FINAL ANSWER

I don't know if you just wanted the equation to be solved because I don't see any pic attached to your question to "drag". But hope it helps!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 11 is the solution to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

$2(x+7)=36$

We have to write the steps to solve the above equation.

Step 1: Distribute 2 on the left side.

$2(x+7)=36\\2x + 14 = 36$

Step 2: Collect the like terms.

$2x + 14 = 36\\2x = 36-14\\2x = 22$

Step 3: Solve for x.

$2x = 22\\\\x = \displaystyle\frac{22}{2} = 11$
