Answer:

x = (-158)/87

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7×4 (x + 7) = 38

Hint: | Multiply 7 and 4 together.

7×4 = 28:

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7) = 38

Hint: | Group like terms in 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7).

Grouping like terms, 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7) = 28 (x + 7) + (38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x):

28 (x + 7) + (38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x) = 38

Hint: | Add like terms in 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x.

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x = 59 x:

28 (x + 7) + 59 x = 38

Hint: | Distribute 28 over x + 7.

28 (x + 7) = 28 x + 196:

28 x + 196 + 59 x = 38

Hint: | Add like terms in 59 x + 28 x + 196.

28 x + 59 x = 87 x:

87 x + 196 = 38

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 196 from both sides:

87 x + (196 - 196) = 38 - 196

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

196 - 196 = 0:

87 x = 38 - 196

Hint: | Evaluate 38 - 196.

38 - 196 = -158:

87 x = -158

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 87 x = -158 by 87:

(87 x)/87 = (-158)/87

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

87/87 = 1:

Answer: x = (-158)/87

(x - 3) + (x - 6) + x = 63
x - 3 + x - 6 + x = 63
Combine like terms
3x - 9 = 63
Isolate the constant
3x - 9 + 9 = 63 + 9
3x = 72
Isolate the viable
3x / 3 = 72 / 3
