2(a+7) - 7 = 9 what is the answer

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+7)−7=9

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(a+7)−7=9

(2)(a)+(2)(7)+−7=9(Distribute)

2a+14+−7=9

(2a)+(14+−7)=9(Combine Like Terms)

2a+7=9

2a+7=9

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

2a+7−7=9−7

2a=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2a

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
