Is the equation %283x%2B2%29%2F2=7?


%283x%2B2%29%2F2=7 Start with the given equation.


3x%2B2=14 Multiply both sides by 2.


3x=14-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


3x=12 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2812%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x=4 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is x=4
