Answer:

x=7

Explanation:

2(x+1)+3x=37

Distribute

2x+2 +3x = 37

Combine like terms

5x+2 = 37

Subtract 2 from each side

5x+2-2=37-2

5x = 35

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 35/5

x=7

2(x+1)+3x=37

simplifythe left side:

2x +2 +3x = 37

Combine like terms:

5x +2 = 37

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 7
