Answer:
Simplifying
2(x + 10) + -17 = 5 + 2x + -2
Reorder the terms:
2(10 + x) + -17 = 5 + 2x + -2
(10 * 2 + x * 2) + -17 = 5 + 2x + -2
(20 + 2x) + -17 = 5 + 2x + -2
Reorder the terms:
20 + -17 + 2x = 5 + 2x + -2
Combine like terms: 20 + -17 = 3
3 + 2x = 5 + 2x + -2
Reorder the terms:
3 + 2x = 5 + -2 + 2x
Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3
3 + 2x = 3 + 2x
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + 2x = 3 + -3 + 2x
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 2x = 3 + -3 + 2x
2x = 3 + -3 + 2x
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
2x = 0 + 2x
2x = 2x
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
2x + -2x = 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
0 = 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
0 = 0
Solving 0=0
