Answer:


\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

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
