Use the distributive property to write the next step in simplifying the equation ? x(2+7)=36

It would be 2x+7x=36.

x=4 *The answer should be the positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.

a÷c=b÷c for c≠0

divide by 9 both sides of an equation.

x(2+7)/9=36/9

simplify.

36/9=4

9*4=36

36/4=9

4*9=36

x=4

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
