Answer:
Explanation:
Solve 6x + 5(2x + 7) = 9x + 5
Isolate x (on the left) and solve for x
6x+10x+35 = 9x + 5 [ do not forget to distribute 5 to the 7]
6x+10x-9x=5-35
7x=-30
x=-30/7
or in mixed fraction
x=-4 2/7
x = -30/7
6x + 5(2x + 7) = 9x + 5
Distribute
6x + 10x +35 = 9x+5
Combine like terms
16x +35 = 9x+5
Subtract 9x from each side
16x-9x +35 = 9x-9x+5
7x +35 = 5
Subtract 35 from each side
7x+35-35 = 5-35
7x = -30
Divide each side by 7
7x/7 = -30/7
