Open up the brackets
$5x - 5 + 3x = 7x + 7$
Collect like terms
$5x + 3x - 7x = 7 + 5$
Simplify
$8x -7x = 12$
$x = 12$
Therefore, your answer is 12.

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the parenthesis on both sides of the equation

5x - 5 + 3x = 7x + 7

8x - 5 = 7x + 7 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

x - 5 = 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 12

Answer:

y=49/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 3 with 3y and -5

3 times 3y is 9y

3 times -5 is -15

So the equation now looks like this:

9y-15=34

Add 15 on both sides:

9y=49

Divide 9 on both sides

So y=49/9

Since there is no common value to divide by y is 49/9

If you want the decimal version it is 5.44=> (=> meaning continuing forever)

Hope this helps!
