2(x + 7) = 36 |use distributive property
(2⋅x)+(2⋅7)=36
2·x+2·7=36
2x + 14 = 36

Answer:
(x, y) = (0, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x are opposites, so we can eliminate x by adding the two equations.
(6x +y) +(-6x -4y) = (-1) +(4)
-3y = 3 . . . . simplify
y = -1 . . . . . . divide by -3
Now, we need to find x.
6x -1 = -1 . . . substitute for y in the first equation
6x = 0 . . . . . add 1
x = 0 . . . . . . divide by 6
The solution is (x, y) = (0, -1).
There least common factor would be 5 since they are all divisible by 5.
Answer: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
