7(x + 2) + 3 = 73 solve for x, also please put it in number form and the simplest possible. Thanks.

8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation:

7(x+2) + 3 - 3 = 73 - 3

We will get:

7(x+2) = 70

Now we have to figure out what times seven gives us 70:

70/7 = 10

We get the answer 10. Now we know that:

x+2 = 10

We can now subtract two from both sides of the equation:

x+2-2 = 10-2

We will get:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 14 + 3 = 73

7x + 17 = 73

7x = 56

x = 8

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
