Question

3x + 7 − x + 3 = 2(x + 5)

Answer 1

Simply both sides of the equation, subtract 2x from both sides, then subtract 10 from sides and you’ll end up with 0=0

Answer 2

Answer:

10−10=10−10 /or 0=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3x+7−x+3=2(x+5)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+7−x+3=2(x+5)

3x+7+−x+3=(2)(x)+(2)(5)(Distribute)

3x+7+−x+3=2x+10

(3x+−x)+(7+3)=2x+10(Combine Like Terms)

2x+10=2x+10

2x+10=2x+10

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x+10−2x=2x+10−2x

10=10

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

10−10=10−10

0=0
