Question

7(2x - 2 ) = 42 get my answer please !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You’re trying to find x so distribute what’s in the parenthesis, add 14 to other side, and divide by 14

7(2x - 2) = 42

14x - 14 = 42

14x = 56

x = 4

Answer 2

Answer: x=4

Explanation:

Distribute 7 by multiplying it by 2x and 2 to get
14x-14=42

Eliminate -14 by adding 14 and adding 14 to 42
14x=56

To get x by itself, divide 14x and 56 by 14 to get
x=4 :)
