x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets
x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2
x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.
x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7
x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides
x - 6x = - 15
-5x = - 15 Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = -15/-5
x = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 cups of flour x cups of flour
–––––––––––– = –––––––––––––
24 cookies 54 cookies
cross multiply
2*54=24x
24x=108
x=4.5
4.5 cups of flour
Its parallel so they are equal
7x-40=5x+10
2x=50
x=25
