Drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation 2(x+7)=36 .

x = 11 is the solution to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We have to write the steps to solve the above equation.

Step 1: Distribute 2 on the left side.

Step 2: Collect the like terms.

Step 3: Solve for x.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
