Answer 11

Simplifying
5(8 + 7) = 5x + 5 * 7

Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15
5(15) = 5x + 5 * 7

Multiply 5 * 15
75 = 5x + 5 * 7

Multiply 5 * 7
75 = 5x + 35

Reorder the terms:
75 = 35 + 5x

Solving
75 = 35 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
75 + -5x = 35 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
75 + -5x = 35 + 0
75 + -5x = 35

Add '-75' to each side of the equation.
75 + -75 + -5x = 35 + -75

Combine like terms: 75 + -75 = 0
0 + -5x = 35 + -75
-5x = 35 + -75

Combine like terms: 35 + -75 = -40
-5x = -40

Divide each side by '-5'.
x = 8

Simplifying
x = 8

Answer 12

basically add 8 and 7 then multiply that by 5 then to get x multiply 5and7 then subtract that from the answer u got by multiplying 5by 15 or 8+7
