Question

Solve the following equations :2 ( x + 3) + 5 (x – 2) = 24​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+3)+5(x−2)=24

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+3.

2x+6+5(x−2)=24

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x−2.

2x+6+5x−10=24

Combine 2x and 5x to get 7x.

7x+6−10=24

Subtract 10 from 6 to get −4.

7x−4=24

Add 4 to both sides.

7x=24+4

Add 24 and 4 to get 28.

7x=28

Divide both sides by 7.

x=  

7

28

Divide 28 by 7 to get 4.

x=4
