Question

7x -3(2x + 1) = 5-3x

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

7x−3(2x+1)=5−3x

7x+(−3)(2x)+(−3)(1)=5+−3x(Distribute)

7x+−6x+−3=5+−3x

(7x+−6x)+(−3)=−3x+5(Combine Like Terms)

x+−3=−3x+5

x−3=−3x+5

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

x−3+3x=−3x+5+3x

4x−3=5

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides.

4x−3+3=5+3

4x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4x

4
