Question

Can anyone answer 2(3x+5)+7x and show work ?

Answer 1

13x + 10

Explanation:

First distribute, (2)(3x) + (2)(5) + 7x

This gives you 6x + 10 + 7x

Then combine then like terms 6x + 10 + 7x

To get (6x + 7x) + (10)

And a final answer of 13x + 10 :)

Answer 2

Answer: -12 I believe I’m sorry if I’m wrong I’m not smart

Explanation:

Simplifying

2(3x + -5) = 7x + 2

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + 3x) = 7x + 2

(-5 * 2 + 3x * 2) = 7x + 2

(-10 + 6x) = 7x + 2

Reorder the terms:

-10 + 6x = 2 + 7x

Solving

-10 + 6x = 2 + 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 6x + -7x = 2 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 6x + -7x = -1x

-10 + -1x = 2 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

-10 + -1x = 2 + 0

-10 + -1x = 2

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + -1x = 2 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + -1x = 2 + 10

-1x = 2 + 10

Combine like terms: 2 + 10 = 12

-1x = 12

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = -12

Simplifying

x = -12
