Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
5 ( x - 3 ) + 2x = 41
5x - 15 + 2x = 41
5x + 2x - 15 = 41
7x - 15 = 41
7x = 41 + 15
7x = 56
x = 56 / 7
x = 8
Answer:
X=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: 5x + 2x = 7x
-15 + 7x = 41
Solving
-15 + 7x = 41
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 7x = 41 + 15
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 7x = 41 + 15
7x = 41 + 15
Combine like terms: 41 + 15 = 56
7x = 56
Divide each side by '7'.
x = 8
