Question

4(7x +49) = 112
what is x

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

Divide both sides by 4

7x+49 = 28

Subtract 49 from both sides

7x = -21

Divide by 7

x = -3

Answer 2

x = -3

Explanation:

4 (7x + 49) = 112 divide both sides by 4

4 ÷ 4(7x + 49) = 112

7x + 49 = 28 now subtract 49 from both sides

7x + 49 - 49 = 28 - 49

7x = -21

x = -3
