Question

how to write and solve; two times the quantity of 7x plus 5 equals -32?

Answer 1

Answer: x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

     First, we will write an equation.

two times ➜ 2 *

7x plus 5 ➜ 7x + 5

equals -32 ➜ -32

       2(7x+5) = -32

     Next, we will solve by isolating the x variable.

2(7x+5) = -32

14x + 10 = -32

14x = -42

x = -3
