Question

Drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation 2(x+7)=36 .

Answer 1

2(x+7)=36 DISTRIBUTE THE 2
2x+14=36 SUBTRACT 14 FROM BOTH SIDES
-14 -14
2x=22 DIVIDE BY 2 ON BOTH SIDES
/2 /2
x=11 FINAL ANSWER

I don't know if you just wanted the equation to be solved because I don't see any pic attached to your question to "drag". But hope it helps!!!

Answer 2

x = 11 is the solution to the given equation.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

`2(x+7)=36`

We have to write the steps to solve the above equation.

Step 1: Distribute 2 on the left side.

`2(x+7)=36\\2x + 14 = 36`

Step 2: Collect the like terms.

`2x + 14 = 36\\2x = 36-14\\2x = 22`

Step 3: Solve for x.

`2x = 22\\\\x = \displaystyle(22)/(2) = 11`
