To find the equivalent expression for \(\( 7x + 35 \)\), you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the common factor: Look at both terms in the expression \(\( 7x + 35 \)\). Notice that both terms have a common factor of 7.
2. Factor out the common factor: Once you identify the common factor (which is 7), you can rewrite the expression by factoring out this common factor. This means you divide each term by 7 and place the common factor outside of parentheses.
- Divide \(\( 7x \)\) by 7 to get \(\( x \)\).
- Divide 35 by 7 to get 5.
Now, you can rewrite the initial expression as \(\( 7(x + 5) \)\).
So, the equivalent expression for \(\( 7x + 35 \)\) is \(\( 7(x + 5) \)\).
