Question

7 times a number is 30 greater than the sum of twice the number and five

Answer 1

x=8

Explanation:

7 X = 30 + 2(x + 5)

7x = 30 + 2x + 10

7x = 40 + 2x

7x - 2x = 40 + 2x -2x

5x = 40

x=8

Answer 2

7 X = 30 + 2(x + 5)

7x = 30 + 2x + 10

7x = 40 + 2x

7x - 2x = 40 + 2x -2x

5x = 40

x=8
