Answer:

37

Explanation:

3x + 8x + 4x = 6x + 63 ( combine like terms)

>15x = 6x + 63 (subtract from both sides)

-6x. -6x

-----------------

>9x = 63. (divide both sides by 9)

--------------

9. 9

> x = 7 ( use this to plug in for your new equation)!

5(x) + 2

>5(7) + 2 (multiply 5*7)

> 35 +2 (then add)

> 37 is your answer
