An equation is shown below: 2(7x − 3) = 9 which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation? step 1: 14x − 3 = 9 step 2: 14x = 12 step 1: 14x − 6 = 9 step 2: 14x = 15 step 1: 9x − 3 = 9 step 2: 9x = 12 step 1: 7x − 1 = 9 step 2: 7x = 10

Option 2nd is correct

Step 1.

Step 2.

14x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

An equation is shown below:

Apply the distributive property we have;

Simplify:

Add 9 to both sides we have;

Therefore, the  beginning steps to solve the given equation is,

Step 1.

Step 2.
