Given the numerical equation:
7 ( 2 + x ) =35
Determine the value of x.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of x, we first need to distribute 7 to each value inside the parenthesis.
7 ( 2 + x ) = 35
14 + 7x = 35
Transpose 14 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
7x = 35 - 14
7x = 21
Divide both sides by 7 in order to cancel out 7x, leaving behind x.
7x/7 = 21/7
x = 3
Final answer:
x = 3
