Question

What does this equal to 2(x - 5) + 7 = x + 8

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-5) + 7= x + 8

First we can distribute the 2(x-5) which gives us 2x - 10

2x-10 + 7= x + 8

subtract -10 + 7 which is -3

2x - 3= x + 8

Next, subtract the x to the left side and add the 3 to the right side

x= 11!
