5(B + 3) = 4(B – 7) + 2B

Answer 1

The solution is B = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify and solve for the unknown for 5(B + 3) = 4(B - 7) + 2B

• Simplify each side
• Add the like terms in each side if need
• Separate the unknown in one side and the numerical term in the other side to find the value of the unknown

∵ 5(B + 3) = 4(B - 7) + 2B

- Multiply the bracket (B + 3) by 5 in the left hand side and multiply

  the bracket (B - 7) by 4 in the right hand side

∵ 5(B + 3 ) = 5(B) + 5(3) = 5B + 15

∵ 4(B - 7) = 4(B) - 4(7) = 4B - 28

∴ 5B + 15 = 4B - 28 + 2B

- Add the like terms in the right hand side

∵ 4B + 2B = 6B

∴ 5B + 15 = 6B - 28

- Add 28 to both sides

∴ 5B + 43 = 6B

- Subtract 5B from both sides

∴ 43 = B

- Switch the two sides

∴ B = 43

To check the answer substitute the value of B in each side if the two sides are equal then the solution is right

The left hand side

∵ 5(43 + 3) = 5(46) = 230

The right hand side

∵ 4(43 - 7) + 2(43) = 4(36) + 86 = 144 + 86 = 230

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ The solution B = 43 is right

The solution is B = 43
