Question

2(3x + 5) = 22
what is X?

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

2(3x + 5) = 22

6x + 10 = 22

6x = 12

x = 2

Answer 2

first divide both sides by 2 so that we can get rid of the parentheses, so we get

`(3x + 5) = 11`
now subtract 5 from both sides

`3x = 6`
then finally we want x alone so we'll divide both sides by 3 and get our final answer!

`x = 2`
