Drag steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 7 (x - 4) = 84.

7x + 28 = 84

x = 16

7x = 112

7x - 28 = 84

there are only three places to place the answers

First, multiply out 7 (x-4); the correct product is 7x-28. This 7x-28 matches the last (fourth) answer choice. 7 (x-4) = 84 is equivalent to 7x - 28=84.

To solve for x, consolidate the constant terms on one side of this equation. Add 28 to both sides, resulting in 7x = 112.

Dividing both sides by 7 results in x = 112/7, or x = 16.

The solution to 7 (x - 4) = 84 is 16.
