Question

7+x/3 = 2x-5 Please help with my maths question

Answer 1

Answer:

36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate the x.

7+x/3=2x-5

x/3=2x-12

x=6x-36

-5x=-36

x=36/5

Hoped this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

X= 22/7

Step-by-step explanation:

7+X/3 = 2x - 5

7 + x = 3( 2x - 5) [ cross multiplication]

7 + X = 6x - 15

Move variable to LHS and change its sign

X - 6x + 7 = -15

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

X - 6x = -15 - 7

Collect like terms

-5x = -15 - 7

Calculate the difference

-5x = -22

The difference sign(-) will be cancelled in both sides

5x = 22

divide both sides of the equation by 5

5x/5 = 22/5

calculate

X = 22/5

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment...
