Answer:

Solve the equation for x:

  • 7 + 5(x - 3) = 22
  • 5(x - 3) = 15
  • x - 3 = 3
  • x = 3 + 3
  • x = 6

Correct choice is c

Answer:

Option c = 6

Explanation:

Given,

7+5(x-3)=27+5(x−3)=22

(Taking one of the equation)

=> 7 + 5(x - 3) = 22

=> 7 + 5x - 15 = 22

=> 5x = 22 + 15 - 7

=> 5x = 30


= > x = (30)/(5)

=> x = 6 (Option c)
