7(x-2)=28 Can somebody help me and show the steps?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.

7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6
