Answer:
x= 28/5 or 5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x+2)−3(x−6)=7x
5(x+2)−3(x−6)=7x
Simplify both sides of the equation.
5(x+2)−3(x−6)=7x
(5)(x)+(5)(2)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−6)=7x <--(Distribute)
5x+10+−3x+18=7x
(5x+−3x)+(10+18)=7x <--(Combine Like Terms)
2x+28=7x
2x+28=7x
Subtract 7x from both sides.
2x+28−7x=7x−7x
−5x+28=0
Subtract 28 from both sides.
−5x+28−28=0−28
−5x=−28
Divide both sides by -5.

x= 28/5
Answer:
x= 28/5
or
5.6
