Question

The difference of six times a number and seven results in 35.

Identify the steps necessary to solve the equation.


Add 7, and then divide by 6.

Divide by 6, and then add 7.

Subtract 7, and then divide by 6.

Divide by 6, and then subtract 7.

Which one is the answer?

Answer 1

6x - 7 = 35
6x = 35 + 7 (add 7 and then divide by 6)
6x = 42
x = 42/6
x = 7

Answer 2

Add 7, and then divided by 6

Explanation:

Let x be the number

We have to identify the steps necessary to solve the equation.

According the question

`6x-7=35`

Adding 7 on both sides then we get

`6x-7+7=35+7`

`6x=42`

Divided by 6 on both sides then, we get

`(6x)/(6)=(42)/(6)`

`x=7`

Answer:Add 7, and then divided by 6
