are you trying to see if that equation equals to 41? or are you trying to find x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think she's trying to solve x..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok well x is 8 i think let me check again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well show her how to work it....

i will after i solve it lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OH OKA
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[5(x-3)+2x=41\]
\[5x-15+2x=41\] distributed five to x-3
\[7x-15=41\] add the x together
\[7x=56\] add 15 to both sides
\[x=8\]divide both sides by 7 to get x by itself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok well you are right it does equal to 41. do u know how though?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@vanhoeak2 how did u get 15 for both sides?

@Miyuru yess i am thank u
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i didn't get 15 for both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Anelika yes thats fine
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did show how to work it... under each equation is what i did to get the equation

Distribute, then isolate the variable to solve.\[5(X-3)+2X=41 \implies 5X-15+2X=41 \implies 7X=56 \implies X=8\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so what u do first is 5(x-3) you need to times 5 into x wich is 5x then 5 into 3 which is 15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but im askin how did u get 15?@vanhoeak2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you times 5 by 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and then u add 15 to both sides
