Question

2(x - 5) + 7 = x + 8 what is x represents

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=11`

Reorder the terms in parentheses

`+(+2x-10)+7=x+8`

Remove unnecessary parentheses

`+2x-10+7=+x+8`

Move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right

`+2x-1x=+8+10-7`

Simplify left and right side of the equation

`+1x=+11`

divide both sides of the equation by 1 to get x

`x=11`
