Question

Solve for x. 2 3 (x + 7) = 10

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

2/3(x + 7) = 10. Divide each side by 2/3.

x + 7 = 15. Subtract each side by 7.

x = 8

Answer 2

`\boxed{x=-(151)/(23)}`

Explanation:

This is an equation whose target variable is
`x`. Recall that in mathematics, an equation is a statement that involves the equality of two expression. In this case, we have the following equation:

`23(x+7)=10`

Applying distributive property:

`23x+161=10`

Subtracting 161 from both sides:

`23x+161-161=10-161 \\ \\ 23x=-151`

Dividing both sides by 23:

`\boxed{x=-(151)/(23)}`
