Question 146163


{{{4(2x-3)+7=3x+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x-12+7=3x+5}}} Distribute.



{{{8x-5=3x+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8x=3x+5+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{8x-3x=5+5}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{5x=5+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(10)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
