Question

I really need hep with this question (5x-7)-5(7x-12)+7=0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying expressions:

                5x - 7 - 5(7x - 12) + 7 = 0

Distribute (-5) to each term of (7x - 12)

   5x - 7 + 7x*(-5) + (-12)*(-5) + 7 = 0

                5x - 7 - 35x + 60 + 7 = 0

                 5x - 35x - 7 + 60 +7 = 0

Combine like terms.

                                 -30x + 60 = 0

Subtract 60 from both sides

                                        -30x   = -60

Divide both sides by (-30)

                                             x   = (-60)/(-30)

                                               x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the Algebraic Equation.

( 5x - 7 ) -5 (7x - 12 ) + 7 = 0

Removing brackets.

5x - 7 - 35x + 60 + 7 = 0

Combining like terms.

5x - 35x + 60 + 7 - 7 = 0

- 30x + 60 = 0

- 30x = - 60

dividing bothsides by - 30

$\frac{ - 30x}{ - 30} = \frac{ - 60}{ - 30} \\ \\ x \: = 2$
