Question

Solve for x. 2 3 (x + 7) = 10

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{x=-\frac{151}{23}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation whose target variable is $x$. Recall that in mathematics, an equation is a statement that involves the equality of two expression. In this case, we have the following equation:

$23(x+7)=10$

Applying distributive property:

$23x+161=10$

Subtracting 161 from both sides:

$23x+161-161=10-161 \\ \\ 23x=-151$

Dividing both sides by 23:

$\boxed{x=-\frac{151}{23}}$
