Question

3x+2(x+2)=20-(2x-5)

Give answer in photo.

Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

3x + 2(x + 2) = 20 - (2x - 5)

Remove brackets:

3x + 2x + 4 = 20 - 2x + 5

Combine like terms:

5x + 4 = 25 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides:

7x + 4 = 25

Take away 4 from both sides:

7x = 21

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 3

.............................................................................................

Answer: x = 3
