Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline7(3x7)=7x+21 -7(3 x-7)=-7 x+21 \newline
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 7-7 on the left side of the equation to both terms inside the parentheses.\newline7×3x=21x-7 \times 3x = -21x\newline7×7=49-7 \times -7 = 49\newlineSo the equation becomes:\newline21x+49=7x+21-21x + 49 = -7x + 21
  2. Combine Like Terms: Next, we want to get all the xx terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side. To do this, we can add 7x7x to both sides of the equation.\newline21x+49+7x=7x+21+7x-21x + 49 + 7x = -7x + 21 + 7x\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline14x+49=21-14x + 49 = 21
  3. Isolate X Term: Now, we want to isolate the xx term by moving the constant term on the left side to the right side. We can do this by subtracting 4949 from both sides of the equation.14x+4949=2149-14x + 49 - 49 = 21 - 49This simplifies to:14x=28-14x = -28
  4. Solve for X: To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -14").\(\newline\$-14x / -14 = -28 / -14\)\(\newline\)This simplifies to:\(\newline\)\(x = 2\)
