Question

7(3x - 2) = 28
What is x

Answer 1

X=2

Explanation:

First, divide by 7 from both sides.

7(3x-2)/7=28/7

Solve.

28/7=4

3x-2=4

Next, add 2 from both sides.

3x-2+2=4+2

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

2+4=6

3x=6

Then, divide by 3 from both sides.

3x/3=6/3

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

6/3=2

x=2, which is our answer.
