Q. Solve for x in simplest form.11=21(7x+8)Answer:
Isolate x term: Isolate the term with the variable x. 11=(21)(7x+8)To isolate the term with x, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2.2×11=2×(21)(7x+8)
Multiply by 2: Perform the multiplication on both sides.22=1(7x+8)Now we have removed the fraction and we can simplify the right side.22=7x+8
Simplify right side: Isolate the variable x by subtracting 8 from both sides.22−8=7x+8−814=7x
Subtract 8: Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x.714=77x2=x
