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
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6
Answer:
2 bags of topsoil.
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached figure shows a flower bed.
One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters.
We need to find how many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed.
The area of the flower bed is :
Let he has to cover x bags of topsoil. So,
x = Area of flower bed/Area of 1 bag of top soil
x = 30/15
x = 2
Hence, he will need 2 bags of topsoil to cover his flower bed.
