14
how is it 14
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is 42.
To show the distributive property, we need to multiply the number outside the parentheses (7) by each term inside the parentheses (2 and 4) and add them together:
7(2 + 4) = 14 + x
Simplifying the left side:
7(6) = 14 + x
42 = 14 + x
To isolate the variable, we subtract 14 from both sides:
42 - 14 = 14 + x - 14
28 = x
