Question

How to write and solve; two times the quantity of 7x plus 5 equals -32?

Answer 1

Answer: x = -3

Explanation:

First, we will write an equation.

two times ➜ 2 *

7x plus 5 ➜ 7x + 5

equals -32 ➜ -32

2(7x+5) = -32

Next, we will solve by isolating the x variable.

2(7x+5) = -32

14x + 10 = -32

14x = -42

x = -3
