Answer 1

x=14

Explanation:

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Answer 2

The answer is x=14.

Explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to solve for x, that is, we have to free the "x" variable in any side of the equation. We have to do the same procedure for any variable, independent of the amount of variables in the equation.

Solving the expression for x:

`5+(4)/(7)*(21+3x)=41\\(4)/(7)*(21+3x)=41-5\\\\21+3x=(36)/((4)/(7) ) \\\\21+3x=(36*7)/(4)\\3x=63-21\\3x=42\\x=(42)/(3)= 14`

The solution for x is x=14.
