Question

solve.
\frac{x}{2} = 7
a. \bigcirc x = 5
b. \bigcirc x = 7
c. \bigcirc x = 9
d. \bigcirc x = 10
e. \bigcirc x = 14

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x via multiplication

Multiply both sides by 2.
$$\frac{x}{2} \times 2 = 7 \times 2$$

Step2: Simplify to find x

Cancel 2 on left, compute right.
$$x = 14$$

Answer:

E. x = 14
