Question

An equation is shown below: 2(7x − 3) = 9 Which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation? (4 points)​

Answer 1

Answer:

2(7x-3)=9

14x-6=9

14x=9+6

14x=15

x=15/14

Answer 2

Hey there!

Let's solve this equation!

We have

2(7x-3)=9

Use the Distributive Property & distribute 2:

14x-6=9

Now, add 6 to both sides:

14x=15

Divide both sides by 14:

x=15/14

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
