Solve for x

7(4x - 15) = 63

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 7(4x - 15) = 63 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 7: \[ 28x - 105 = 63 \]

  2. Isolate the variable term by adding 105 to both sides: \[ 28x - 105 + 105 = 63 + 105 \] \[ 28x = 168 \]

  3. Divide both sides by 28 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{168}{28} \] \[ x = 6 \]

So the solution is \( x = 6 \).
