Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Assuming that these are three different problems:

1) 4(5n-7) = 10n+2

Distribute:

4(5n-7) = 10n+2

20n - 28 = 10n + 2

Combine like terms, isolate, and solve:

10n = 30

n = 3

2) 9(x+3) = 4x-3

Distribute:

9(x+3) = 4x-3

9x+27 = 4x - 3

Combine like terms, isolate, and solve:

5x = -30

x = -6

3) 2(12-8x) = x-11(i assumed the extra x was a typo)

distribute:

24-16x = x-11

Combine like terms, isolate, and solve:

35 = 17x

x = 35/17

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

4(5n-7)+10n+2

Distribute

20n -28 +10n+2

Combine like terms

30n-26

Assuming you meant =

4(5n-7)=10n+2

Distribute

20n -28 =10n+2

Subtract 10n from each side

20n-10n-28 = 10n-10n+2

10n-28 =2

Add 28 to each side

10n-28+28=28+2

10n=30

Divide by 10

10n/10 =30/10

n=3

9(x+3)=4x-3

Distribute

9x+27 = 4x-3

Subtract 4x from each side

9x-4x+27 = 4x-4x-3

5x +27 =-3

Subtract 27 from each side

5x+27-27 = -3-27

5x = -30

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -30/5

x=-6

2(12-8x)=x-11x

Combine like terms

2(12-8x) = -10x

Divide by 2

12-8x = -5x

Add 8x to each side

12-8x+8x = -5x+8x

12 = 3x

Divide by 3

12/3 =3x/3

4=x
