Question

Solve for X: 9 (4 - x) = 2 (x + 7)

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Answer 1

9 x 4 = 36, 9 x X= 9x
2 x X= 2x 2 x 7 = 14
36 - 9x = 2x + 14
+ 9x +9x
36= 11x + 14
-14 -14
22= 11x
—- —-
11x 11x

x = 2

hope that made sense

9 (4 - x) = 2 (x + 7)

(9*4)-(9*x)=(2*x)+(2*7)

37-9x=2x+14

23=11x

23/11

2.0909=x
