Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge \boxed{ \sf{x = 18.5}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{3(22 + 2) = 18 + 4(x - 5)}[/tex]
Add the numbers : 22 and 2
⇒[tex] \sf{3 \times 24 = 18 + 4(x - 5)}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers : 3 and 24
⇒[tex] \sf{72 = 18 + 4(x - 5) }[/tex]
Distribute 4 through the parentheses
⇒[tex] \sf{72 = 18 + 4x - 20}[/tex]
Calculate the difference
⇒[tex] \sf{72 = - 2 + 4x}[/tex]
Swap the sides of the equation
⇒[tex] \sf{ - 2 + 4x = 72}[/tex]
Move 2 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{4x = 72 + 2}[/tex]
Add the numbers : 72 and 2
⇒[tex] \sf{4x = 74}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{74}{4} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{x = 18.5}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
Best regards!!
Answer:
x=18.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3(22+2) =18 + 4(x-5)
3(24) = 18 + 4(x-5)
72=18+4(x-5)
4(x-5)+18=72
4x-20+18=72
4x= 72-18+20
4x=72+2
4x=74
x=74/4
x=18.5
