7x + 1
Combine like terms: 2x + 5x
Then add the remaining terms: 7x + 1
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
=
Answer:
3x + 21 or 21 + 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
This is an example of the distributive property. Of all the fundamental rules used in solving equations, this is likely the most important, at least at beginning levels.
Solution
What this is saying is two things.
1. you must multiply both terms on either side of the + sign by the factor outside the brackets.
2. You must not destroy a plus (or minus) sign unless the two terms inside the brackets are exactly the same.
3(7 + x) The terms are not the same, so your answer must have a plus sign
Left side of the plus: 3*7
Right side of the plus: 3 * x
The answer then is 21 + 3x
It is more commonly written as 3x + 21
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
11. 76x + 23x = 33
99x = 33
x = 33/99 which reduces to 3
12. 140r - 8r - 4r = 216
128r = 216
r = 216/128 which reduces to 27/16
13. 98c - 99c = 1
-1c = 1
c = -1/1
c = -1
14. 104mn + (-84mn) = 36
104mn - 84mn = 36
20mn = 36
mn = 36/20 which reduces to 9/5....I am not sure about this one...I was not sure if u were looking for m or n..so I didn't separate them. But if ur looking for m, it is m = 9/5n...and if ur looking for n, it is n = 9/5m
15. 118j - 234j = 234
- 116j = 234
j = -234/116 reduces to - 117/58
I would say either C or D because they give the most information.
