Let's say Ronnie is thinking of X.
If 2(x) = x+5, we would first distribute the 2.
2x = x+5
We would then need to isolate the variable. We would do so by getting all variables to one side. The easier choice would be to subtract x from both sides.
2x=x+5
-1x -1x
This becomes
x=5
Ronnie is thinking of the number five.
5•2=10 and 5+5=10.
Let's say David's age right now is x years
x + 6 = 2(x - 7)
x + 6 = 2x - 14
x = 20
Therefor David is 20 years old
