  • 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.

  • distributive property:

    4x-28=2

    4x=30

    x=7.5
