Question

7+5(x−3)=22 I need help it is hard for me I am just starting to learn it but I am stuck

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

7+5(x−3) = 22

Multiplying 5 with x−3, we have

7 + 5x − 15 = 22

7 − 15 + 5x = 22

− 8 + 5x = 22

5x = 22 + 8

5x = 30

x = 30/5

x = 6

Answer 2

Explanation:

7 + 5(x - 3) = 22 (Given)

7 + 5x - 15 = 22 (Distribute)

5x - 8 = 22 (Add like terms.)

5x = 30 (Add 8 on both sides.)

x = 6 (Divide by 5 on both sides then solve.)
