Question

Which value of xxx makes 7+5(x-3)=227+5(x−3)=227, plus, 5, left parenthesis, x, minus, 3, right parenthesis, equals, 22 a true statement

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

This is because:

7+5(x−3)=22

7+5(6−3)=22

7+5(3)=22

7+15= 22

​

Answer 2

The value of x was found after calculation is 6.

Step by Step Explanation

Given

$7+5(x-3)=22$

Here we have to use distributive property, then we have to group the terms we will get the value of $x$.

$7+5x -5(3)=22$

$7+5x -15=22$

$5x-8 = 22$

Group the terms as,

$5x= 22+8$

$5x = 30$

Dividing both sides by 5 as,

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{30}{5} \\x = 6$

Thus x was found as 6.
