drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation 2(x + 7) = 36.
a 2x + 14 = 36
b (2 • x) + (2 • 7) = 36
c 2x + 7 = 36
d 2(x + 7) = 72
e x + 14 = 36
f x + 7 = 18
yes no not enough information

Given equation: 2(x+7) = 36.                ......[1]

Distributive Property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately i.e,

Then,

By using the distributive property in equation [1];

2(x+7) = 36

Simplify:

Divide both sides by 2 in above equation:

Simplify:

x+7 = 18.

Therefore, the first correct step would be option B,

after that the next step would be option A then option F as shown above;

Remaining options are not enough information to solve the given equation  2(x+7) = 36.  

idk wbu

step-by-step explanation:

change of stock price/initial stock price on friday * total stock value = change of stock value

0.89/73.73 *x = 42.72

x=3539.04 = total stock value at initial stock price on friday .

total stock value at initial stock price on friday/ initial stock price on friday = number of shares

3539.04/73.73 = 48 shares

they own 48 shares of this stock
