Answer:

x= 3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the distributive property and multiply 3 by x and 3 by 2:

3x + 6

next use the distributive property again and multiply 4 by x and -5:

4x - 20

Combine Like terms: 3x + 6 + 4x - 20

3x + 4x = 7x

6 - 20 = -14

Now Add 14 to both sides: 7x - 14 = 10

10 + 14 = 24

Now divide 7 by both sides: 7x = 24

24 / 7 = 3.428571429 = 3.43

Answer:

x=24/7 or 3 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) + 4(x-5)=10   parenthesis first

3x+6+4x-20=10

7x-14=10               addition on both sides

7x-14+14=10+14

7x=24

x=24/7

check the answer:

3(x+2) + 4(x-5)=10

3(24/7+2)+4(24/7-5)=10

72/7+6+96/7-20=10

168/7-14=10

24-14=10

10=10 correct
