5x-3%282x-7%29=11x%2B3--------->Workign eqn
Distribute:
5x-6x%2B21=11x%2B3
Combine similar terms:
21-3=11x%2B6x-5x
18=12x------>cross%2818%293%2Fcross%2812%292=cross%2812%29x%2Fcross%2812%29
highlight%28x=3%2F2%29 Answer
In doubt? Go back working eqn:
5%283%2F2%29-3%282%283%2F2%29-7%29=11%283%2F2%29%2B3
%2815%2F2%29-3%286%2F2-7%29=%2833%2F2%29%2B3
%2815%2F2%29-3%28%286-14%29%2F2%29=%2833%2B6%29%2F2
%2815%2F2%29-3%28-8%2F2%29=39%2F2
%2815%2F2%29%2B%2824%2F2%29=39%2F2
39%2F2=39%2F2, good!
Thank you,
