Question

7(x + 2) + 3 = 73 solve for x, also please put it in number form and the simplest possible. Thanks.

Answer 1

Explanation:

7x + 14 + 3 = 73

7x + 17 = 73

7x = 56

x = 8

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

We can start by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation:

7(x+2) + 3 - 3 = 73 - 3

We will get:

7(x+2) = 70

Now we have to figure out what times seven gives us 70:

70/7 = 10

We get the answer 10. Now we know that:

x+2 = 10

We can now subtract two from both sides of the equation:

x+2-2 = 10-2

We will get:

x = 8
