Question

I need help with this practice *please read below*I am BRAND new to this type of mathematics, so please explain how to solve this step by step(Act as if your tutoring someone new to this, on how to solve this type of equation) Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

Solve the equation:

`4x+3x+2(x+5)=28`

Apply the distributive property to remove the brackets:

`4x+3x+2x+10=28`

Collect like terms on the left side:

`9x+10=28`

Subtract 10 on both sides of the equation:

`9x=18`

Divide by 9 and operate:

`x=(18)/(9)=2`

Answer: E. x = 2
