Solve for x (2x)+(27)=36

$(2 \cdot x) + (2 \cdot 7) = 36$

Step 1

Multiply $2$ by $7$ .

$2 x + 14 = 36$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $14$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 x = 36 - 14$

Subtract $14$ from $36$ .

$2 x = 22$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 x = 22$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = 22$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{22}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{22}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{22}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $22$ by $2$ .

$x = 11$

Solve for x (2*x)+(2*7)=36
