Question

What is the value of x for the given equation? 4-2(X +7) =3 ( X +5)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2(x + 7) = 3(x + 5)                  Remove the brackets.

4 - 2x - 14 = 3x + 15                    Combine

-2x- 10 = 3x + 15                         Add 2x to both sides

- 10 = 2x + 3x + 15                      Combine

-10 = 5x + 15                               Subtract 15 from both sides

-10 - 15 = 5x                                Combine the left side      

-25 = 5x                                       Divide by 5

-25/5 = 5x/5

x = - 5
