Question

What is 5x-(3+7)=9+2(x-8)

Answer 1

5x-3-7＝9+2x-16
5x-10＝2x-7
5x-2x＝-7+10
3x＝3
X＝1

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (3+7)=9+2(x-8)

Add the numbers 3 + 7= 10

5x - 10= 9 + 2(x-8)

Expand 9 + 2(x-8): 2x - 7

5x - 10 = 2x - 7

Add 10 to both sides

5x -10 + 10 = 2x -7 + 10

Simplify 5x = 2x + 3

Subtract 2x from both sides

5x -2x = 2x + 3- 2x

Simplify

3x = 3

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 =3/3

Simplify

x= 1
