Answer:
x=14/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Group like terms
2x+8x+7=35
Add similar elements: 2x+8x=10x
10x+7=35
Subtract 7 from both sides:
10x+7−7=35−7
Simplify
10x=28
Divide both sides by 10
10x/10 =28/10
Simplify:
x=14/5
Answer:
[tex]2x+7+8x=35[/tex]
[tex]2x+8x+7=35[/tex]
[tex]10x+7-7=35-7[/tex]
[tex]10x=28[/tex]
[tex]\cfrac{10x}{10}=\cfrac{28}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x=\cfrac{14}{5}[/tex]
or
[tex]x=2.8[/tex]
