im stuck 2(3-x)+7=x+10

Question

how do i solve for x?

Answer 1

6 - 2x + 7 = x + 10

 

13 - 2x = x + 10

 

 

Add 2x on both sides of the equation.

 

13 = 3x + 10

 

 

Subtract 10 on both sides of the equation.

 

3 = 3x

 

 

Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get your x value.

Answer 2

first distribute the 2 into the parenthesis. 6-2x+7 = x+10

 

simplifying you obtain 13-2x = x+10

 

adding 2x to both sides and subtracting 10 from both sides, will allow you to then divide by the coefficient that you will then have with x to find the answer
