Question

I need to find the answer for "x" 2x + 3(5x - 7) =47

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be x=4.  

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x+3(5x−7)=47

2x+(3)(5x)+(3)(−7)=47(Distribute)

2x+15x+−21=47

(2x+15x)+(−21)=47(Combine Like Terms)

17x+−21=47

17x−21=47

Step 2: Add 21 to both sides.

17x−21+21=47+21

17x=68

Step 3: Divide both sides by 17.

17x/17=68

17x=68

x=4
