Question

7(8+a)=189 please help and give me step by step ​

Answer 1

Well, we can use the distributive property:
56 + 7a = 189
7a = 133
a = 19

Answer 2

Answer: a = 19

Explanation:

Given

7 (8 + a) = 189

Divide 7 on both sides

7 (8 + a) / 7 = 189 / 7

8 + a = 27

Subtract 8 on both sides

8 + a - 8 = 27 - 8

a = 19

Hope this helps!! :)
