6x+9

.........

Answer 2

Answer:

here you go bro

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(5x + 7) + (x + 2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(7 + 5x) + (x + 2) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (7 + 5x)

7 + 5x + (x + 2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

7 + 5x + (2 + x) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (2 + x)

7 + 5x + 2 + x = 0

Reorder the terms:

7 + 2 + 5x + x = 0

Combine like terms: 7 + 2 = 9

9 + 5x + x = 0

Combine like terms: 5x + x = 6x

9 + 6x = 0

Solving

9 + 6x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.

9 + -9 + 6x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0

0 + 6x = 0 + -9

6x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9

6x = -9

Divide each side by '6'.

x = -1.5

Simplifying

x = -1.5
