Question

3x + 17 + 4x + 8 =228

Answer 1

• 
  `\sf x=29`

Explanation:

`\sf 3x + 17 + 4x + 8 =228`

Combine like terms:-

→
`\sf 3x+4x=\bf 7x`

→
`\sf 17+8=\bf 25`

• 
  `\sf 7x+25=228`

Subtract 25 from both sides:-

• 
  `\sf 7x+25-25=228-25`

Simplify:-

• 
  `\sf 7x=203`

Divide both sides by 7:-

• 
  `\sf \cfrac{7x}{7} =\cfrac{203}{7}`

Simplify:-

• 
  `\sf x=29`
