Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6
30 because 18 and the plain goes into 12 which is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of orders Michael, Rafael and Amanda served are 16.8, 33.6, and 41.6 servings
respectively.
<h3>Equation</h3>
- Michael = x
- Rafael = 2x
- Amanda = 2x + 8
- Total servings = 92 orders
x + 2x + (2x + 8) = 92
3x + 2x + 8 = 92
5x = 92 - 8
5x = 84
x = 84/5
x = 16.8 servings
Therefore,
Michael = x
= 16.8 servings
Rafael = 2x
= 2(16.8)
= 33.6 servings
Amanda = 2x + 8
= 33.6 + 8
= 41.6 servings
