Solve the equation: 7(2b-5)+3=10

OpenStudy (brinazarski):

Okay, so first, you could distribute the 7, or you could subtract three from ten. Pick!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did 3 from 10(:

OpenStudy (brinazarski):

Okay, so what's your new equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7(2b-5)=7

OpenStudy (brinazarski):

Perfect! So, what do you think you should do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I honestly have no clue...//: Maybe divide 7 on each side?

OpenStudy (brinazarski):

Sure! So when you do that, what's your new equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2b-5=1??? That doesn't seem right. I suckk..

OpenStudy (brinazarski):

No, that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
