What number solves the equation 7(x - 2) = 42?

Hell​

First, we need to see what operation is being applied to 7 and x.

The operation that is being applied is multiplication.

Since the inverse operation of multiplication is division, we have to apply that to both sides of the equation.

7x=42

7x/7=42/7

7 and 7 cross out, and we are left with x on one side of the equation.

x=42/7

x=6

Our final answer is that x=6

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - 2 = 6

7(8 - 2) = 7(6)

7x6 = 42, so

x = 6 is the correct answer
