Question

solve the following linear equation:
7(x – 2) = 2x +6​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question:

$7(x - 2) = 2x + 6$

your answer:

$7x - 14 = 2x + 6$

[ distribute 7 to the values inside the Parentheses]

$= > 7x - 2x = 6 + 14$

[ let the variables one be in the LHS and the numerals be in the RHS ]

$= > 5x = 20$

[ now divide 20 and 5]

=> x = 20/5

=> x = 4

hence, 4 is your final answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x-2) =2x+6

7x - 14 =2x+6

7x-2x=14+6

5x = 20

x = 20÷5

= 5

so x = 4
