Answer:

2. x = 47

3. x = 2

Explanation:

These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios. You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.

2. 28(7) = 4(x + 2)

Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x

Solve for x: x = 47

3. 2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)

Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44

Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x

Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x

Solve for x: x = 2
