Question

Solve the equation and enter the value of x below. 7(x + 9) + 5 = 96​

Answer 1

`\fbox{x = 7}`

Explanation:

7(x + 9) + 5 = 96

Solve for x.

• 7(x + 9 ) + 5 = 96

Step 1 :- Distribute 7.

• 7 × x + 7 × 9 + 5 = 96
• 7x + 63 + 5 = 96

Step 2:- Add 63 and 5.

• 7x + 68 = 96

Step 3 :- Move constant to the right-hand side and change their sign.

• 7x = 96 - 68

Step 4 :- Subtract 68 from 96.

• 7x = 28

Step 5 :- Divide both side by 7.

• 
  `(7x)/(7) \\` =
  `\frac{ 28} {7}\\`
• x = 4

Answer 2

Hello!

`\large\boxed{x = 4}`

7(x + 9) + 5 = 96

Distribute:

7x + 63 + 5 = 96

Combine like terms:

7x + 68 = 96

Subtract 68 from both sides:

7x = 28

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 4
