Question

3(x - 7) + 4 = 28 - 2x​

Answer 1

3x-21+4=28-2x...... Multiply 3 with (x-7)

3x+2x=28+21-4......Take - 2x from right side to left side which makes it +2x and - 21+4 from left side to right side which makes it +21-4

5x=45.....Add and subtract as required

x=45/5....Taking 5 from left side to right side and dividing it

x=9.....Normal division

Answer 2

`\boxed{\bold{\huge{\boxed{\sf x = 9}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf 3(x-7) + 4 = 28 - 2x \\\\Resolving\ Parenthesis\\\\3x - 21 + 4 = 28 - 2x \\\\3x -17 = 28 - 2x\\\\Combining \ like \ terms\\\\3x + 2x = 28+17\\\\5x = 45\\\\Dividing\ both \ sides\ by\ 5\\\\\boxed{\sf x = 9 }`
