Question

7(x+3)=-2(x-5) Help pls?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{-11}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 7 into (x+3) and -2 into (x-5)

7x+21=-2x+10

add -2x on both sides

7x+2x+21=10

9x+21=10

subtract 21 on both sides

9x=-11

divide both sides by 9

x=-11/9

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

7x+21 = -2x+10

Add 2x to each side

7x+21 +2x = -2x+10+2x

9x +21 = 10

Subtract 21 from each side

9x +21-21 = 10-21

9x = -11

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = -11/9

x = -11/9
