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

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

One piece is 23.5

the other is 41.5

Step-by-step explanation:

first subtract 18 from 65 that will give you 47. Then 47÷2= 23.5. this is the length of the shorter piece. since one piece is 18 m longer then the other, add 18 to 23.5. that will give you the length of the longer piece. You can check your work by adding 23.5 and 41.5. They equal 65.
