Question

37=-3+5(x+6), Please provide explanation.

Answer 1

37=−3+5(x+6)
37 = -3 + (5)(x) + (5)(6)
37 = -3 + 5x + 30
37 = (5x) + (-3 + 30)
37 = 5x + 27
5x + 27 =37
5x + 27-27 = 37-27
5x= 10
Divide 5 on both side and you get x= 2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

youd distribute the 5 first so the equation is now

37=-3+5x+30

then group the common terms (-3 and 30 in this case)

37=5x+27

now subtract 27 from both sides to start to isolate 5x

10=5x

divide by 5 to find x

2=x

hope i helped :)
