Here the expression is : 2(x+7) = 36
The first steps can be either to distribute or divide both sides by 2. Therefore :
(2 * x) + (2 * 7) = 36 -- yes
2x + 14 = 36 -- yes
x + 7 = 18 -- yes
x + 14 = 36 -- no
2(x + 7) = 72 -- no
2x + 7 = 36 -- no
Hope this helps ! Say me if it's alright ^^

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the scale factor
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor
Let
z----> the scale factor
x----> corresponding side of the larger trapezoid
y----> corresponding side of the smaller trapezoid
we have
substitute
step 2
Find the area of the larger trapezoid
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z----> the scale factor
x----> area of the larger trapezoid
y----> area of the smaller trapezoid
we have
substitute

Option 2.
1. Simplify 7 + (12 - 9) + 7 × 3(8 - 5)
According to the Order of Operations, contents of parentheses are evaluated first. This gives
... 7 + 3 + 7 × 3 × 3
Then multiplication and division are performed left to right.
... = 7 + 3 + 21 × 3
... = 7 + 3 + 63
Followed by addition and subtraction left to right.
... = 10 + 63
... = 73
A Google search box can be relied upon to do the operations in the correct order.
_____
2. When the expression is rewritten, a different result is obtained. This is because the operations indicated by the second set of parentheses are altered.
... (7 + 12) - 9 + (7 × 3)8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 21 × 8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 168 - 5
... = 10 + 168 - 5
... = 178 - 5
... = 173
In the first expression, both +8 and -5 are multiplied by 21. In the rewritten expression, only +8 is multiplied by 21.
