Answer: x=2

Explanation:

9(x+7)+5=86

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

9(x+7)+5=86

(9)(x)+(9)(7)+5 (Distribute)

9x+63+5=86

(9x)+(63+5)=86 (Combine Like Terms)

9x+68=86

Step 2: Subtract 68 from both sides.

9x+68−68=86−68

9x=18

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9.


(9x)/(9) =(18)/(9)

x=2
