Question

7(x + 5) = 14, help?

Answer 1

distribute out the 7

That means multiply 7 to x and 7 to 5

What do get then?

Answer 2

I would get 7x+35=14?

Answer 3

Yes you are correct.

Then I would subtract 35 from both sides. Remember we want to get x by itself. What do we get then?

Answer 4

Did you already solve the question you posted?

Answer 5

What do I do next? Do i subtract 14 on both sides?

Answer 6

no you have to subtract 35 from both sides

Answer 7

Like that ^^^^

Answer 8

7x+35=14

You got the equation wrong first off.

Answer 9

7x+35-35=14 -35

Answer 10

And then yuo cross out the 35s because they would equal o, right? And then you would get 7x=21 and then you would divide 7 on both sides and you would end up with 3, correct?

Answer 11

7x=-21

So it will be -3 actually

Answer 12

Good work though

Answer 13

Oh ok, Thank you! =)
