Question

Solve 4(x+7)-5x+2=10

Answer 1

x = 20

Explanation:

4(x + 7) - 5x + 2 = 10

open the parenthesis

4 * x + 4 * 7 - 5x + 2 = 10

4x + 28 - 5x + 2 = 10

combine like terms

-x + 30 = 10

subtract 30 from both sides of the equation

-x + 30 - 30 = 10 - 30

-x = 10 - 30

-x = -20

mutiply the equation by -1

-1 * -x = -20 * -1

x = 20

Answer 2

x=20 hope this helped
