Question

Write an equation for the hangers below and solve (will give brainless if correct!)​

Answer 1

1) 5x+2=17

2) 5(2+x)=17

Explanation:

1) subtract 2 from both of the sides, then you get 5x=15. Divide 5 on both sides, then you get X=3

2) Use distributive property and multiply 5 and 2 and you get 10, then do the same thing with the x. You should get 10+5x=17. Subtract 10 from both sides. Then you are left with 5x=17, divide 5 on both sides you should get x=7/5

Hope this helps!
