Question

Simplify: 3(x-2)+2(2x+5)=35​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=31/7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-6+4x+10=35

7x=31

x=31/7 (The task was to find the x, not simplify)

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=\frac{31}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following equation,

$3(x-2)+2(2x+5)=35$

Distribute, multiply every term inside the parenthesis by the term outside of it.

$3(x-2)+2(2x+5)=35$

$(3)(x)-(3)(2)+(2)(2x)+(2)(5)=35$

Simplify,

$(3)(x)-(3)(2)+(2)(2x)+(2)(5)=35$

$3x-6+4x+10=35$

$7x+4=35$

Inverse operations,

$7x+4=35$

$7x=31$

$x=\frac{31}{7}$
