Solve each equation for the ind
2. 2(x-7)=10

x= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-7) = 10

Distribute the 2. 2x-14 = 10

Add the 14 onto both sides to cancel it out on the original side and following the rules- the same must be done to the other side. 2x-14 (+14) = 10+14 > 2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2 to get the X alone. 2x/2 = 24/2 > x= 12

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2
