Answer:
x=−11
Step-by-step explanation:
7+5(x−3)=7(x+2)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
7+5(x−3)=7(x+2)
7+(5)(x)+(5)(−3)=(7)(x)+(7)(2)(Distribute)
7+5x+−15=7x+14
(5x)+(7+−15)=7x+14(Combine Like Terms)
5x+−8=7x+14
5x−8=7x+14
Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.
5x−8−7x=7x+14−7x
−2x−8=14
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−2x−8+8=14+8
−2x=22
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x
−2
=
22
−2
x=−11
