7(x + 10) = 100

First, divide both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like:
x + 10 = (100)/(7)
Second, subtract the 10 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
x = (100)/(7) - 10
Third, simplify. / Your problem should look like:
x = (30)/(7)

Answer as fraction:
x = (30)/(7)
Answer as decimal: 4.2857
