Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10

Solution:

Subtract 18 from both sides

2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10

              - 18    -18

---------------------------

2 (3x-7) = -8

Now divide both sides by 2

2 (3x-7)               -8

-----------     =  ------------

  2                      2

Simplify

3x - 7 = -4

Then add 7 to both sides

3x - 7 = -4

   + 7     +7

--------------------

3x = 3

Divide both sides by 3

3x                     3

-----------     =  ------------

  3                     3

x = 1

Thus, Solution : x =1

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Simplify both sides of the equation

$2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10$

Distribute

$(2)(3x) + (2)( - 7) + 18 = 10 \\ 6x + - 14 + 18 = 10$

Combine like terms

$(6x) + ( - 14 + 18) = 10$

$6x + 4 = 10$

Step 2

Subtract 4 from both sides

$6x + 4 - 4 = 10 - 4$

$6x = 6$

Step 3

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{6}{6}$

$x = 1$
