Algebra problem: 4(x-7)=2?

drexyll

lol i forgot how to do this can someone answer please!?!!

anna

okay, 4(x-7)= 2

first, distribute.

(4*x)(4*-7)=2

then do the multiplication.

4x-28=2

then add.

4x-28(+28)=2(+28)

combine the terms.

4x=30

divide.

4x( /4)= 30 (/4)

done!

X = 7.5

implifying

4(x + -7) = 2

Reorder the terms:

4(-7 + x) = 2

(-7 * 4 + x * 4) = 2

(-28 + 4x) = 2

Solving

-28 + 4x = 2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '28' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 28 + 4x = 2 + 28

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0

0 + 4x = 2 + 28

4x = 2 + 28

Combine like terms: 2 + 28 = 30

4x = 30

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 7.5

Simplifying

x = 7.5

4(x - 7) = 2

4x - 28 = 2

4x = 30

x = 7.5 or 7 1/2.
