For this equation its the same as simplifying any other equation -Simplify both sides of the equation then isolate the variable- Easy then once you've do so the answer should be
<u>x =
</u>
Answer: 102
Step by Step Explanation:
5y+11=8y-13
-8 -8y
-3y+11=-13
-11 -11
<u> 3y </u>=<u> -24</u> = 8 y=8
3y 3y
5(8)+11=51
Multiple 51 times 2 and you're answer will be the following.
First, you factor and simplify (respectively) the numerator and denominator. Your equation becomes:

Notice, there is a (x + 7) on both the top and the bottom. Because of this, they cancel each other out. What is left is your answer:
That is distributive property ... hope this helps
