Question

Which value of x makes 7+5(x-3)=27 a true statement?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + 5(x - 3) = 27

7 - 7 + 5(x - 3) = 27 - 7

5x - 15 = 20

5x - 15 + 15 = 20 + 15

5x/5 = 35/5

x = 7

Answer 2

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have : 7 + 5(x-3)=27

                       5(x-3)=27 - 7

                       5(x-3)=20

                           x-3=20:5

                           x-3=4

                              x=4+3

                              x=7
