Question 147238


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



{{{7+5x-15=3x+6}}} Distribute.



{{{5x-8=3x+6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=3x+6+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{5x-3x=6+8}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=6+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(14)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=7}}} Reduce.
