Question

7th grade math, shouldn't be this hard.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation.

The first thing we can do is add 9 to both sides, eliminating the -9 from the left side of the equation. Now we have 7x = 84.

You can divide 84 over 7x to get a total of x =12.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 9 to both sides.

• $7x - 9 + 9 = 75 + 9$
• $7x = 84$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 7.

• $\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{84}{7}$
• $x = 12$

Step 3: Check if solution is correct.

• $7(12) - 9 = 75$
• $84 - 9 = 75$
• $75 = 75$

Therefore, x = 12.
