8(x+7)=0 what is the first step in solving the equation

1 answer

To solve the equation \(8(x + 7) = 0\), the first step is to isolate the term inside the parentheses by dividing both sides of the equation by 8. This gives:

\[ x + 7 = 0 \]

After that, you can continue solving for \(x\) by subtracting 7 from both sides.
