Question

Which equation is equivalent to 7 + 3 ( x+4 ) = 10 x -2

Answer 1

The correct answer is x=3
7+3(x+4)=10x-2
7+3x+12=10x-2
19+3x=10x-10
29=7x
3=x

I HOPE THAT MAKES SINCE LOL!!

Answer 2

X=3

Explanation:

First, the 3 spread to the x and the 4 because of distribution property. Then, 3x is moved to the right, and the left turns into 19. The X's turn into 7x, and the -2 is moved to the left which makes it positive. The equation is simplified to 21=7x which means that x=3.

Hope this helps!
