Step-by-step explanation:
7 + 5(x - 3) = 22 (Given)
7 + 5x - 15 = 22 (Distribute)
5x - 8 = 22 (Add like terms.)
5x = 30 (Add 8 on both sides.)
x = 6 (Divide by 5 on both sides then solve.)
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7+5(x−3) = 22
Multiplying 5 with x−3, we have
7 + 5x − 15 = 22
7 − 15 + 5x = 22
− 8 + 5x = 22
5x = 22 + 8
5x = 30
x = 30/5
x = 6
