Solve for x. 7(4x−15)=63

1 answer

To solve for x in the equation 7(4x - 15) = 63, we can start by distributing 7 to the terms inside the parentheses:

7 * 4x = 28x
7 * -15 = -105

So the equation becomes:

28x - 105 = 63

Next, we can add 105 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:

28x - 105 + 105 = 63 + 105
28x = 168

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 28 to solve for x:

28x/28 = 168/28
x = 6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 6.
