x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets

x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2

x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.

x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7

x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides

x - 6x = - 15

-5x = - 15 Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = -15/-5

x = 3

The first stage of a rocket burns 28 seconds longer than the second stage. If the total burning time for both stages is 152 seco

maria [59]

The 1st stage: x, the 2nd stage: y.
x + y = 152
x = y + 28
y + 28 + y = 152
2 y = 152 - 28
2 y = 124
y = 124 : 2 = 62
x = 62 + 28 = 90
Answer: the first stage burns 90 seconds and the second burns 62 seconds.
