To find the value of x, first substitute the given values into the equation:
50 + (7x – 4) = 116
Combine like terms:
50 + 7x - 4 = 116
53 + 7x = 116
7x = 116 - 53
7x = 63
x = 63 / 7
x = 9
So, the value of x is 9.
9 is not an option
Apologies for the oversight. Let's reevaluate the equation:
50 + (7x - 4) = 116
Combine like terms:
50 + 7x - 4 = 116
53 + 7x = 116
7x = 116 - 53
7x = 63
x = 63 / 7
x = 9
It seems that the correct value of x is indeed 9. The closest option to 9 in this case would be 10 which is not listed in the answer choices provided. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.
