Answer:
x=11
Explanation:
Distribute :
4x + 3 = x + 2( x+ 7)
4x + 3 = x + 2x + 14
Combine like terms :
4x + 3 = x + 2x + 14
4x + 3 = 3 x+ 14
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation :
4x + 3 = 3x + 14
4x + 3-3 = 3x + 14 -3
Simplify :
what ever way you know how to subtract the numbers you should get this answer :
4x = 3x + 11
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation :
4x = 3x + 11
4x - 3x = 3x + 11 - 3x
Simplify :
combine like terms
multiply by 1
combine like terms
x= 11
