Question

- 3(x - 7) + 2 = 20 I need help to solve it​

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

First you will distribute it

U basically multiply the 3 by the X and the 7 here

-3 x (x = -3x And the 7 becomes a 21

Then you add the 2

21 + 2 = 23

Then you add the -3

-3x + 23 =20

Then using the equation above you subtract 23 from both sides

(-3 + 23) - 23 = 20 - 23

Then you simplify it

-3x = -3

Then you divide them using the same term

-3

÷ -3

Then you simplfy it and you get

x=1

Answer 2

the answer is
X=1

-3(x-7)+2=20
-3x + 21 + 2 = 20
-3x + 23 = 20
-23. -23
-3x=-3
Divide by -3
X=1
