Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline2(7x7)=7x+28 2(-7 x-7)=-7 x+28 \newline
  1. Distribute 22: First, we need to distribute the 22 across the terms inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation.2(7x7)=7x+282(-7x - 7) = -7x + 2814x14=7x+28-14x - 14 = -7x + 28
  2. Add 14x14x: Next, we will add 14x14x to both sides of the equation to get all the xx terms on one side.\newline14x+14x14=7x+14x+28-14x + 14x - 14 = -7x + 14x + 28\newline0x14=7x+280x - 14 = 7x + 28
  3. Add 1414: Now, we will add 1414 to both sides of the equation to isolate the constant terms on one side.\newline0x14+14=7x+28+140x - 14 + 14 = 7x + 28 + 14\newline0x=7x+420x = 7x + 42
  4. Simplify equation: Since 0x0x is 00, we can simplify the equation further.\newline0=7x+420 = 7x + 42
  5. Subtract 4242: Next, we will subtract 4242 from both sides of the equation to solve for xx.\newline042=7x+42420 - 42 = 7x + 42 - 42\newline42=7x-42 = 7x
  6. Divide by 77: Finally, we will divide both sides of the equation by 77 to find the value of xx.42/7=7x/7-42 / 7 = 7x / 7x=6x = -6
