Question

Find the solution and explain your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 7) = 38

Simplify.

4x + 28 = 38

Subtract 28 from each side of the equation.

4x + 28 - 28 = 38 - 28

Simplify.

4x = 10

Divide each side by 4.

4x ÷ 4 = 10 ÷ 4

$x = \frac{10}{4}$

$x = \frac{5}{2}$

$x = 2\frac{1}{2}$

x = 2.5
