Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation:

3(x + 2) = 2(x + 5)

Use distributive property

3 · x = 3x

3 · 2 = 6

Your equation should look like this now:

3x + 6 = 2(x + 5)

Use distributive property for the other side

2 · x = 2x

2 · 5 = 10

Your equation:

3x + 6 = 2x + 10

Subtract 6 from both sides

3x = 2x + 4

Subtract 2x from both sides

1x = 4

Divide both sides by 1

x = 4

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) = 2(x+5)

Distribute

3x+6 = 2x+10

Subtract 2x from each side

3x-2x+6 = 2x-2x+10

x +6 = 10

Subtract 6 from each side

x+6-6 = 10-6

x = 4
