Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(5x+7)=34

first distribute the 2

10x+14=34

     -14   -14

10x=20

divide both sides by 10

x=2

Hope this helps :))

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

2(5x + 7) = 34       Divide 2 on both sides

[tex]\frac{2(5x+7)}{2} =\frac{34}{2}[/tex]

5x + 7 = 17     Subtract 7 on both sides

5x + 7 - 7 = 17 - 7

5x = 10    Divide 5 on both sides to get "x" by itself

[tex]\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{10}{5}[/tex]

x = 2
