Answer:
Explanation:
You just have to distribute all the equations. Start with the parenthesis. I'll do one for you. 2(x-5) +7 = x+8. Distribute 2(x-5) and you gest 2x-10+7=x+8. subtract x from the right and you get x-10+7=8. Combine like terms so you get x-3=8. Then add 3 on both sides and you get x=11.
