Question

Solve the equation 7 (x-2)= 42

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

7 is first multiplied into both sides of the parentheses

7x-14=42

then you add 14 to both sides to get rid of the 14 on the left side

7x-14=42

+14     +14

----------------

7x=56

then u divide 7x by both sides

7x/7=56/7

x=8
