Question

3(x+5)-7=2(x+2) this is x, not multiplication and I really need the answer thanks​

Answer 1

Lets do

$\\ \sf \longmapsto \: 3(x + 5) - 7 = 2(x +2) \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: 3x + 15 - 7 = 2x + 4 \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: 3x + 8 = 2x + 4 \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: 3x - 2x = 4 - 8 \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: x = - 4$
