Answer:
x = -4.4
Explanation:
We presume you want to solve for x.
Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses.
7(x-2)+3(x+2) = 5(x-6)
7x -14 +3x +6 = 5x -30
Subtract the right side
(7x +3x -5x) +(-14 +6 +30) = 0
5x +22 = 0
Divide by 5
x + 4.4 = 0
Subtract the constant
x = -4.4
_____
Check
7(-4.4-2) +3(-4.4+2) = 5(-4.4-6) . . . . substitute -4.4 for x in the equation
7(-6.4) +3(-2.4) = 5(-10.4) . . . . . . . . . simplify
-44.8 -7.2 = -52 . . . . . true
