Answer:

X=7

Explanation:

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

7x + -10 + 2x =39 + 2x

(7x + 2x) + (-10) = 2x + 39 (combine like terms)

9x -10 = 2x + 39

step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides

9x -10 - 2x = 2x + 39 - 2x

7x - 10 =39

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

7x - 10 + 10 = 39 + 10

7x = 49

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

7x/ 7 = 49/7 x=7

hope this helps!!
