1 answer

To solve the equation \(7x + 4 = 39\), we need to isolate \(x\).

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ 7x + 4 - 4 = 39 - 4 \] \[ 7x = 35 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 7: \[ x = \frac{35}{7} \] \[ x = 5 \]

So, the value of \(x\) that makes the equation true is \(5\).

The correct answer from the options provided is: 5
