Question

2(x + 7) + x = 20 how to solve and what's the answer?

Answer 1

The answer is...
3x + 14 = 20
x = 2

Answer 2

2(x + 7) + x = 20

Distribute 2 inside the parentheses.

2x + 14 + x = 20

Combine like terms.

3x + 14 = 20

Subtract 14 from both sides.

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3.

`\boxed {x =2}`
