Question

7(x+2)=2x-1 solve for the variable

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7(x + 2) = 2x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

7x + 14 = 2x - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5x + 14 = - 1 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 3
