747 = (9 times x) + 9

x=82

Step-by-step explanation:

You start of with subtracting both sides with 9

then you divide both side with 9

Remember the rule that whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other side. So, how do we find x? The objective when we are simplifying equations like this is to isolate x. We need to make x lonely on one side. So let's try!

747 = 9x + 9

What is the first step to making x lonely? Usually try to use the property of addition or subtraction because it makes things 10x easier. So, using the idea of using addition or subtraction, let's make x lonely by minusing 9 on both sides.

747 = 9x + 9

- 9           - 9   (Remember we have to do the same thing to both sides!)

738 = 9x

Now we have 9 times x = 738. Hm, how do we make x lonely even more? What if divide both sides by 9. We are dividing both sides by 9 because this way, the 9 times will cancel out and disappear. Look:

738 = 9x

÷9     ÷9

82 = x

And there we go, we made x completely lonely and found out x = 82!

a28=58

step-by-step explanation:

a1=a1+(n-1)d

a28= 4+ (28-1)2

a28=4+(27)(2)

a28=4+54

a28=58
