Question

3(x + 1) = 5(x - 2)+7

Answer 1

the answer to 3(x+1)=5(x-2)+7 is 3
x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify:

3x+3=5x-10+7

3x+3=5x-3

Subract 5x from each side:

3x-5x+3=5x-5x-3

-2x+3=-3

Subract 3 from each side:

-2x+3-3=-3-3

-2x=-6

Divide both sides by -2:

$-2x/-2=-6/-2$

x=3
