Question

5(x - 7) = 10 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .

Answer 1

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation

For now, I will focus on the left hand side of the equation and simplify it as much as I can.

`\sf{5(x-7)=10}`

`\sf{5x-35=10}`

Now we move on to the right hand side too. Subtract 35 from each side:

`\sf{5x=10+35}`

`\sf{5x=45}`

Divide each side by 5

`\sf{x=9}`

Therefore x = 9

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

5(x - 7) = 10

5x - 35 = 10

5x = 45

x = 9
