to prepare for a new school year, Mr. Brown is buying 7 sets of 5 pack notebooks for his child Let x be the total of the number of notebooks Mr. Brown buys. Which of the following shows the correct equation and the property of equality that can be used to solve this problem
The correct equation for this problem would be:
x = 7 * (5 packs of notebooks)
To simplify this equation, we can use the distributive property of equality:
x = 7 * 5
This can be further simplified to:
x = 35
Therefore, the correct equation is x = 35, and the property of equality used to solve the problem is the distributive property.
