Solve 2(x−8) 2 −35=7

Evaluate

2 (x - 8) \times 2 - 35 = 7

Multiply the terms

4 (x - 8) - 35 = 7

Move the expression to the left side

4 (x - 8) - 35 - 7 = 0

Subtract the numbers

4 (x - 8) - 42 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

4 x - 74 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

4 x = 0 + 74

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

4 x = 74

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{74}{4}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{74}{4}

Solution

x = \frac{37}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 18.5
