Lin and Noah are solving the equation `7(x+2)=91`. Lin starts by using the distributive property. Noah starts by dividing each side by 7. Show what Lin's and Noah's full solution methods might look like.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin’s method

- multiply both x and 2 by  7

7x+14 = 91

- add -14 at both members

7x+14-14 = 91-14

7x = 77

- divide the two members by 7

x = 11

Noah’s method

- divide the two members by 7

x+2 = 13

- add -2 at both members

x+2-2 = 13-2

x = 11

Answer:

The solution is x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

The original equation is

7(x+2)=91

Lin uses the distributive property, which states that

a (x+y) = ax + ay

By applying the property to this case,

7(x+2)=91

7x+14=91

Then we subtract  14 on both sides:

7x+14 - 14 = 91-14

7x=77

Finally, we divide by 7 on both sides:

7x÷7 = 77÷7

x=11

Noah starts by dividing each side by 7, so he gets:

7(x+2)÷7 = 91÷7

x+2= 13

Then he can subtract +2 from both sides:

x+2-2 =13 - 2

x=11

So, they get the same result. The similarity between the two methods is that  they both divide by 7, while the difference is that Lin has to subtract 14, while Noah has to subtract 2.
