Answer 1

Answer: x=9

Explanation:

7+3(x-2)=2x+10

7+3x-6=2x+10

1+3x=2x+10

1+3x-2x=2x-2x+10

1+1x=10

1x=9

x=9

Answer 2

x=9

Explanation:

Simplify 7+3x−67+3x−6 to 3x+13x+1.

Subtract 11 from both sides

Simplify 2x+10−12x+10−1 to 2x+92x+9.

Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

Simplify 3x−2x3x−2x to xx.
