The sum of these will simply be the sum of all the numbers 1 through 26, which is 351.
The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.
2 - (4 - <em>x</em>) = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>
<em />
-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -<em>x</em> = <em>x</em>
<em />
2 - 4 + <em>x</em> = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>
Simplify.
-2 + <em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 2
-<em>x</em> = 2
<em>x</em> = -2
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
<em>x</em> = -2
Answer: The number is 15
Step-by-step explanation: basically the equation you should solve is
(x)+(2x)+(2x+7)=82
5x+7=82
5x= -7+82
5x=75
5/5x=75/5
x=15
