The right side of the equation 2x + 3(x + 7) - 8=is 8.
The number of solution is one solution.
What is the right side of the equation?
2x + 3(x + 7) - 8 =
open parenthesis
2x + 3x + 21 = 8
Subtract 21 from both sides
2x + 3x = 8 - 21
5x = -13
Divide both sides by 5
x = -13/5
x = -2⅗
Therefore, x each negative 2⅗
