Question

Solve for x2x+5x-8=41

Answer 1

Given the equation:

2x + 5x - 8 = 41

Let's solve the equation for x.

• First combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

7x - 8 = 41

• Add 8 to both sides of the equation:

7x - 8 + 8 = 41 + 8

7x = 49

• Divide both sides by 7:

`\begin{gathered} (7x)/(7)=(49)/(7) \\ \\ x=7 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

x = 7
