Question

Solve each for X. Show your work


3(2x - 1) + 2(x + 5) = 47

Answer 1

3(2x - 1) + 2(x + 5) = 47

6x - 3 + 2x + 10 = 47

6x + 2x = 47 + 3 - 10

8x = 40 / : 8

x = 5 ← the end

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(2x - 1) + 2(x + 5) = 47$

$6x - 3 + 2(x + 5) = 47$

$6x - 3 + 2x + 10 = 47$

$8x - 3 + 10 = 47$

$8x + 7 = 47$

$8x = 47 - 7$

$8x = 40$

$(8x \div 8 = 40 \div 8 = x = 40 \div 8 )$

$x = 5$
