Answer:


\boxed {x = 54}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
x:


7(x - 5) - 9 = 334

-Use Distributive Property:


7(x - 5) - 9 = 334


7x - 35 - 9 = 334

-Combine like terms:


7x - 35 - 9 = 334


7x - 44 = 334

-Add both sides by
44:


7x - 44 + 44 = 334 + 44


7x = 378

-Divide both sides by
7:


(7x)/(7)= (378)/(7)


\boxed {x = 54}

Therefore, the value of
x is
54.
