5(3x+2)=70 pls help lol

Sagot :

Simplifying
5(3x + 2) = 70

Reorder the terms:
5(2 + 3x) = 70
(2 * 5 + 3x * 5) = 70
(10 + 15x) = 70

Solving
10 + 15x = 70

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 15x = 70 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 15x = 70 + -10
15x = 70 + -10

Combine like terms: 70 + -10 = 60
15x = 60

Divide each side by '15'.
x = 4

Simplifying
X=4
