Question

Solve the following equations.
(1)(x + 5)/3 = 7
(2)5(3x + 2) - 8 = 13​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) x+5=7×3

x=21-5

x=16

(2)

5(3x+2)-8=13

5(3x+2)=13+8

5(3x+2)=21

3x+2=21/5

3x=21/5-2

3x=21-10/5

3x=11/5

x=11/5×3

x=11/15

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$1. \frac{(x + 5)}{3} = 7 \\ x + 5 = 21 \\ x = 21 - 5 \\ x = 16$

$2.\: \: 5(3x + 2) - 8 = 13 \\ 15x + 10= 13 + 8 - 10\\ 15x= 11 \\ x = \frac{11}{15}$
