Question

Can someone help me solve for X?
2(3−x)+5(4−x)=12

Answer 1

Explanation:

-7x+26=12

--------------------------

subtract 26 from both sides

-7x+26-26=12-26

----------------------------------------------

simplify

-7x=-14

------------------

divide both sides by -7

-7/-7 = -14/-7

----------------------------------

simplify once more

x=2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

• 2(3-x)+5(4-x)=12
• 6-2x+20-5x=12
• 26-7x=12
