Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

7(2x - 5) = 21

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute 7:                   2x - 5 = 3
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                2x = 8
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                         x = 4

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                  7(2(4) - 5) = 21
  2. Multiply:                             7(8 - 5) = 21
  3. Subtract:                            7(3) = 21
  4. Multiply:                             21 = 21

Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the equation.

<span>70 thousand is written in short word form, because its written as a combination of numbers and letters. Standard form would be to write the number easily using multiplication with 10. That woul be: 70000=7*10^4. It;s 10^4 because the decimal point has been 4 laces to the left to get the number to be 7. Word form can be obtain by writing the number using letters. Long word form is: seventy thousand. But because sevety is written with number (70), this is short word form of the number,</span>
