Question

Solve the equation 5x+3 (x+2)=22

Answer 1

`\framebox {x=2}`

`\text {Would you want to do is Simplify the equation}`

`\text {5x+(3)(x)+(3)(2)=22 (Distribute)}`

`\text {5x+3x+6=22}`

`\text {(5x+3x)+(6)=22 (Combine Like Terms)}`

`\text {8x+6=22}`

`\text {Next thing you would want to do is Subtract 6}`

`\text {8x+6-6=22-6}`

`\text {8x=16}`

`\text {The final step is to Divide 8}`

`\text {8x/8=16/8}\\\text {x=2}`

`\text {Hope this helps!}`

`\text {-LimitedX}`
