Question

The variable x represents a value in the set {4,6,7,8|, Which value of x makes 2(x-4)+3=7

Question 14 options:

4


6


8


7

Answer 1

6

Solve the given equation: 2(x - 4) + 3 = 7

Explanation:

use the distributive property (2)(x) + (2)(-4) + 3 = 72x - 8 + 3 = 72x - 5 = 7 add 5 to both sides 2x - 5 + 5 = 7 + 52x = 12

divide both sides by 22x/2 = 12/2

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

Solve the given equation:

2(x - 4) + 3 = 7 use the distributive property

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

2x - 8 + 3 = 7

2x - 5 = 7 add 5 to both sides

2x - 5 + 5 = 7 + 5

2x = 12 divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 12/2

x = 6
