Question

$$7 ( x - 4 ) - 3 = 46$$

Solve for x

$x=11$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $7$ by $x-4$.

$$7x-28-3=46$$

Subtract $3$ from $-28$ to get $-31$.

$$7x-31=46$$

Add $31$ to both sides.

$$7x=46+31$$

Add $46$ and $31$ to get $77$.

$$7x=77$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{77}{7}$$

Divide $77$ by $7$ to get $11$.

$$x=11$$
