Question

Solve -3(x-2)=2(x-7) and write a reason for each step

Answer 1

Answer:

4=x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x-2)=2(x-7)

Distribute -3 and 2.

-3x+6=2x-14

Add 3x to both sides of the equation.

6=5x-14

Add 14 to both sides of the equation.

20=5x

Divide 5 from both sides of the equation.

4=x

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is

-3(x-2)=2(x-7)

First we will distribute -3 and 2, because in math when we have a number being multiplied into parenthesis we multiply both things inside of it

Our equation is now

-3x+6=2x-14

Next we subtract 6 from both sides because we want x to be on only one side

-3x=2x-20

Next we subtract 2x from both sides because we want x to equal something exactly

-5x=-20

Now we divide -5 from both sides because we only want x

x=5
