Question

Solve each for X. Show your work


3(2x - 1) + 2(x + 5) = 47

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

`3(2x - 1) + 2(x + 5) = 47`

`6x - 3 + 2(x + 5) = 47`

`6x - 3 + 2x + 10 = 47`

`8x - 3 + 10 = 47`

`8x + 7 = 47`

`8x = 47 - 7`

`8x = 40`

`(8x / 8 = 40 / 8 = x = 40 / 8 )`

`x = 5`

Answer 2

3(2x - 1) + 2(x + 5) = 47

6x - 3 + 2x + 10 = 47

6x + 2x = 47 + 3 - 10

8x = 40 / : 8

x = 5 ← the end
