Hi there!

The first correct step for solving the equation will be to get rid of the parentheses, and it will be like so,

-5(4x - 7)

Divide -5 on both 4x and -7, you will get, -20x + 35.

Hope this helped!~

My teacher gave us the answers but we just need to show the work for solving the problems. Please help me

Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 22 = 134 ..... because if the two lines are parallel alternative exterior angles are congruent

16x = 134 - 22

16x = 112

$\frac{16x}{16} = \frac{112}{16}$

x = 7

hope it helps
