Answer:
Given equation: 2(x+7) = 36. ......[1]
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 i.e,
![a \cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+ a\cdot c](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%20%5Ccdot%20%28b%2Bc%29%20%3Da%5Ccdot%20b%2B%20a%5Ccdot%20c)
Then,
By using the distributive property in equation [1];
2(x+7) = 36
![(2 \cdot x) + (2 \cdot 7) =36](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%282%20%5Ccdot%20x%29%20%2B%20%282%20%5Ccdot%207%29%20%3D36)
Simplify:
![2x+14=36](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2x%2B14%3D36)
Divide both sides by 2 in above equation:
![\frac{2x+14}{2} =\frac{36}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2x%2B14%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B2%7D)
Simplify:
x+7 = 18.
Therefore, the first correct step would be option B,
after that the next step would be option A then option F as shown above;
Remaining options are not enough information to solve the given equation 2(x+7) = 36.
Answer:
288
Step-by-step explanation:
when multiplying 2 negative integers, the answer is a positive integer.
-16 × -18 = 288

Answer: 1232 pieces
Work Shown:
1 bag = 7 apples
22 bags = 22*7 = 154 apples
So we have 154 apples to work with in total.
Each of those apples is cut into 8 pieces, giving us 8*154 = 1232 pieces
We can write it as one single calculation to say 22*7*8 = 1232
