Answer 1

The value of x will be:

• 
  `x=-5`

Explanation:

Given the equation

`4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)`

Multiply (or distribute) each term in parenthesis on L.H.S by -2, and multiply (or distribute) each term in parenthesis on R.H.S by 3.

`4-2x-14=3x+15`

simplifying the equation by subtracting 14 from the L.H.S

`-10-2x=3x+15`

Subtracting 15 from both sides

`-10-2x-15=3x+15-15`

`-25-2x=3x`

combining the like terms

`-25=3x+2x`

`-25=5x`

dividing both sides of the equation by 5

`(-25)/(5)\:=\:(5x)/(5)`

`-5=x`

Therefore, the value of x will be:

• 
  `x=-5`
