solve the equation 2(x + 3) - 10 = 5
Answer (1)
x = 9/2In this problem, we're asked to solve the following equation:[tex]\sf 2(x+3)-10=5[/tex]Step 1: Add 10 to both sides.→ [tex]\sf 2(x+3)=5+10[/tex]→ [tex]\sf 2(x+3)=15[/tex]Step 2: Distribute 2.→ [tex]\sf 2*x+2*3=15[/tex]→ [tex]\sf 2x+6=15[/tex]Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.→ [tex]\sf 2x=15-6[/tex]→ [tex]\sf 2x=9[/tex]Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.→ [tex]\sf x=\cfrac{9}{2}[/tex]
