Answer:

solution set={35/3}

Explanation:

--3(x+5)=50

  • opening brackets to simplify

3x+15=50

  • subtracting 15 on both sides to find the value of x

3x+15-15=50-15

3x=35

  • dividing 3 on both sides to find the value of x

3x/3=35/3

x=35/3=11.66

solution set={35/3}

hope it will help ^_^
