Question

7+5(x−3)=22 can you help,
please?

Answer 1

First, you want to get the parenthesis out of the equation. To do that, you have to distribute the 5 to get 7+5x-15=22.

Next you want to join like terms by saying -8+5x=22

After that, we want to get the plain numbers together so we add 8 to 22 to get 5x=30.

We want to get the x alone so we divide 30 by 5 to get x=6.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

22-(7+5) = 10
10-3 = 7
X=7
