Question

Solve this equation for x in terms of y and z
7x - 5y - 2z = 4
What is he value of x when y = 5 and z = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Set y to 5 and z to 3

7x - 5(5) - 2(3) = 4

7x - 25 - 6 = 4

7x - 31 = 4

Step 2:  Add 31 to both sides

7x - 31 + 31 = 4 + 31

7x = 35

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 7

7x / 7 = 35 / 7

x = 5

Answer: x = 5
