Answer 1

I got x=7.\[7\times2=14\]\[14+5=19\]\[19+7=26\]

Therefore, my answer is 7

Answer 2

okay this a multiple choice question so which answer would ne correct
a. x+2+(x+5)=26
b. x+(x+5)=26
c. x+2(x)
d. x+(2x+5)=26
e. not given

Answer 3

Just give me a second. :)

Answer 4

D.

Answer 5

In the equation 'D', the parenthesis show the number being multiplied by 2 like I did, and then adding 5. Then, it just adds the original value of x. It's basically exactly what I did. :)
