Question

What are the steps to solving 7(x+2)=91

X=11

Answer 1

X=11

Explanation:

`7\left(x+2\right)=91`

Divide both sides by 7:

`(7\left(x+2\right))/(7)=(91)/(7)`

Simplify:

`x+2=13`

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`x+2-2=13-2`

Simplify:

X=11

Answer 2

Below.

Explanation:

7(x + 2) = 91

Distribute the 7 over the parentheses:

7x + 14 = 91

Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

7x = 91 - 14

7x = 77

x = 77/7 = 11.
