Question

Simplify: 3(x-2)+2(2x+5)=35​

Answer 1

`x=(31)/(7)`

Explanation:

One is given the following equation,

`3(x-2)+2(2x+5)=35`

Distribute, multiply every term inside the parenthesis by the term outside of it.

`3(x-2)+2(2x+5)=35`

`(3)(x)-(3)(2)+(2)(2x)+(2)(5)=35`

Simplify,

`(3)(x)-(3)(2)+(2)(2x)+(2)(5)=35`

`3x-6+4x+10=35`

`7x+4=35`

Inverse operations,

`7x+4=35`

`7x=31`

`x=(31)/(7)`

Answer 2

x=31/7

Explanation:

3x-6+4x+10=35

7x=31

x=31/7 (The task was to find the x, not simplify)
