Question

Solve: 2(7 – x) = 3(x + 3)

Answer 1

If you would like to solve 2 * (7 - x) = 3 * (x + 3), you can do this using the following steps:

2 * (7 - x) = 3 * (x + 3)
2 * 7 - 2 * x = 3 * x + 3 * 3
14 - 2 * x = 3 * x + 9
14 - 9 = 3 * x + 2 * x
5 = 5 * x
x = 1

The correct result would be x = 1.

Answer 2

2(7 – x) = 3(x + 3)

14-2x = 3x+9

14-9 = 3x+2x

5 = 5x

5/5 = x

1 = x
