Does anyone have the answer to this?
3(x+2)-7 = 5x + 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

As I was taught in Algebra class, we use the distributive property to solve this, although there are other ways.

Step 1: Distribute.

We are going to distribute 3 to and +2 (positive 2). Which means multiplying 3 to and 2.

So, therefore, we have

Step 2: Combine like terms.

Combining like terms simply means adding, values that are alike. For example, we can only add and , and , or a number and another number. Note, we can only combine like terms on one side of the equation, meaning at the end of the equal to sign.

Here we have +6 and -7, so adding those two would result in -1

So, therefore, we have

Step 3: Solve for

7 - 7 = 0, so it cancels that side out.

-1 + 7 = -8, so we are left with;

3x - 3x = 0, so it cancels that side out.

5 - 3 = -2, so we are left with;

2 over 2 cancels out

expression #3 is not equivalent. the others are.
