x = 2(x+2) + 3(x-1) = 3x + 7
2x + 4 + 3x -3 = 3x + 7
2x + 3x - 3x = 7 - 4 + 3
2x = 6
x = 3
Subtract 13 from both sides
-5x = -17 - 13
Simplify -17 - 13 to -30
-5x = -30
Divide both sides by -5
x = -30/-5
Two negatives make a positive
x = 30/5
Simplify 30/5 to 6
<u>x = 6</u>
12/65 divide by two if is simplified tell me ok
