The equation will be 2x + 7 = 3x

subtract 2x from bothsides, you get 7 = x

so x is equal to 7

EDITED

sorry, i didnt read the sum part, so my answer is considered wrong ahaha

2(x+7) equals 3x

distribute, you get 2x+14=3x

then subtract 2x,

the answer for x is 14

X= in the number searched
2(x+7)= is the twice the sum of this number and seven.
3x= is three times the number

2x+14=3x
3x-2x=14
x=14

Answer: the number is 14.

The value in cents of 4 quarters and x dimes is

Zina [86]

To add numbers, their units should be the same. We need first to convert the quarters and dimes into cents.
4 quarters is equal to 100 cents, while a dime is equal to 10 cents.
In formula, the answer would be 100+10x. ( x refers to the number of dimes)
