Answer:
The distributive property says that:
\(a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c\)
Given the equation:
\(7(x-4) = 84\)
Apply the distributive property we have;
\(7x-28 = 84\)
Add 28 to both sides we have;
\(7x= 112\)
\(x = 16\)
Therefore, the steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 7(x – 4) = 84 are as follow:
\(7x-28 = 84\)
\(7x= 112\)
\(x = 16\)
