Question

Drag steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 7(x – 4) = 84.

Answer 1

x=16

Explanation:

1. 7x -28 =84

2. 7x = 112

3. x=16

Answer 2

Given the equation:

`7(x-4) = 84`

Using the distributive property, i.e,
`a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c` we have;

`7x -28 = 84`

Add 28 to both sides we have;

`7x = 112`

Divide both sides by 7 we have;

`x = 16`

⇒value of x is, 16

Following Steps are as follow:

`7(x-4) = 84`

`7x -28 = 84`

`7x = 112`

`x = 16`
