Answer:

5(7X-2)=60

First distribute the 5 so the new equation is 35x-10=60

Then add 10 on both sides +10 +10

___________

The new equation is 35x= 70

Then you divide by 35 on both sides to get X by itself

35x=70

35 35

The 35's cancel out leaving X by itself

70 divided by 35=2

x=2 is the final answer

Answer: hope this helps <3

x=2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(7x−2)=60

(5)(7x)+(5)(−2)=60(Distribute)

35x+−10=60

35x−10=60

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.

35x−10+10=60+10

35x=70

Step 3: Divide both sides by 35.

=35x/35

=70/35
