Question

Which value of xx makes 7+5(x-3)=227+5(x−3)=22 a true statement

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$7+5(x-3)=22$

We need to find the value of x for which the given statement is true.

Using distributive property we get

$7+5(x)+5(-3)=22$

$7+5x-15=22$

$5x-8=22$

Add 8 on both sides.

$5x=22+8$

$5x=30$

Divide both sides by 5.

$\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{30}{5}$

$x=6$

Therefore, the given statement is true  form x=6.
