Answer: x = 17/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(x−3)+2x+2=x+7
(4)(x)+(4)(−3)+2x+2=x+7(Distribute)
4x+−12+2x+2=x+7
(4x+2x)+(−12+2)=x+7(Combine Like Terms)
6x+−10=x+7
6x−10=x+7
Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.
6x−10−x=x+7−x
5x−10=7
Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.
5x−10+10=7+10
5x=17
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
