Solve this equation and describe the steps you took.
4( x + 7) = 38

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4( x + 7) = 38

step 1 distribute the 4 to the x and 7

4 * x = 4x

4 * 7 = 28

we now have 4x + 28 = 38

step 2 subtract 28 from each side

28 - 28 cancels out

38 - 28 = 10

we now have 4x = 10

step 3 divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

10 / 4 = 2.5

we're left with x = 2.5

she played for 18.75 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

if she played 2/4 of a hour on tuesday. and there is 60 minutes in an hour and 60 divided by 4 is 7.5. and she played 2/4 of an hour on thursday then again 60 divided by 4 is 7.5, you add 7.5+7.5=56.25. now you have to do 1/4 of an hour, it equals 3.75. now you have to add them all up. 3.75+7.5+7.5=18.75

i hope this and i hope you get it right. it took me a while to get this done for you. : )
